Lp Cajon Microphone Mount For Audix Mics $12 This LP Cajon Microphone Mount is designed to fit an Audix ADX-60 mic. Accurately capturing the extensive sonic range of a cajon with a single microphone is a daunting task. But thanks to an imaginative new mounting system created by acoustic designer Hector Torres, that task has been accomplished. Accomplished so well, in fact, that LP artist Kevin Ricard is now using it on American Idol. The heart of the patent-pending system is a sculpted hardwood microphone holder. This holder allows the mic it contains to be placed anywhere on the rear surface of a cajon in order to achieve the optimum sound. Hook-and-loop fastener strips let you position the unit in different locations to enhance the desired effect. The microphone itself is held 3mm above the surface of the cajon in order to pick up the punch of the bass tones along with all of the more subtle sounds. The compact and flexible design of the LP Cajon Mic system eliminates the need for permanently mounted internal mics, or for external mics whose stands can often get in your way. The greatest cajon playing in the world is wasted if the intended audience can't hear it. Make sure your great playing reaches your audience with the help of the LP Cajon Mic Mount.Fits an Audix ADX-60 Designed by Hector Torres Used by Kevin Ricard on American Idol Sculpted hardwood microphone holder allows the mic it contains to be placed anywhere on the rear surface of a cajon in order to achieve the optimum sound Hook-and-loop fastener strips let the player position the unit in different locations to enhance the desired effect Compact and flexible design eliminates the need for permanently mounted internal mics, or for external mics whose stands can often get in the player's way |

Behringer Pmp6000 / B212xl Mains Monitors & Mics Package $1149.99 The Behringer PMP6000 / B212XL Mains and Monitors PA Package is an inexpensive collection of Behringer technology to monitor, capture, mix, and project your live performances. The package includes all the accessories you need to complete your live sound setup.The package includes:1 BEHRINGER EUROPOWER PMP6000 Powered Mixer4 B212XL 12" 800W Passive Titanium PA Speakers2 Nady StarPower 1 Microphones2 1/4" to 1/4" Speaker Cables (25' each)2 XLR Microphone Cables (20' each)2 Speakon to 1/4" Speaker Cables (25' each)2 Standard Speaker StandsBERHRINGER EUROPOWER PMP6000 Powered MixerThe BEHRINGER EUROPOWER PMP6000 Powered Mixer (2 x 800W stereo, 1600W bridged mode) produces even more power than previous mixers while maintaining famously low weight and high efficiency. The BEHRINGER EUROPOWER PMP6000 mixer employs Class-D technology including a switch-mode power supply, significantly reducing weight and heat. The 20-channel BEHRINGER PMP6000 features 12 built-in XENYX mic preamps, 2 studio-grade 24-bit FX processors with 100 presets, and FBQ Feedback Detection.What is Class-D Technology?Instead of operating relatively continuously like Class AB circuits, Class-D amps switch on and off thousands of times per second, delivering power only when needed. In other words, the amplifier is either fully on or fully off, which significantly reduces power losses from the output devices given off as heat. Less heat means the amps don't need massive heat sinks, and that makes them lighter. This no-compromise design means the EUROPOWER PMP6000 mixer will deliver full power with incredible fidelity all night long, without the need for lengthy rest cycles.When used in conjunction with switching-mode power supplies, which don't require huge and heavy transformers, BEHRINGER's Class-D amplifiers provide tremendous dynamic punch and superior fidelity. The resulting speaker systems are much lighter, making them easy to transport and set up.Massive Mono or Stunning StereoEUROPOWER PMP6000 gives you the choice of 2 x 800-Watt stereo, 2 x 800-Watt dual mono mode (giving you a mono version of the main signal through one powered output plus a mono version of all monitor send signals through the second powered input) or 1,600-Watt bridged mono sound. Whether the center of attention happens to be a folk trio, a speech, or a synth-rock band with mind-boggling stereo patches, the EUROPOWER PMP6000 mixers can accommodate. This sonic versatility also makes it an excellent choice for churches, where vocals and stereo recordings often share face time.Classic Control, State-of-the-Art SoundLeave the mic preamps at home, because the quality of sound that was once only available in the studio is ready to go wherever you do.

Cloud Cloudlifter Cl-2 Phantom Powered Gain Booster For Dynamic And Ribbon Mics $249 The CL-2 is a dual mono Cloudlifter (see # H73309). The CL-2 offers two independent channels of up to +25db of ultra-clean gain, for passive microphones, inline using phantom power.There are certain mics revered for their sound quality. Among them are passive ribbon mics, such as the Royer R121 (#581141 or MXL R40 (#H69305), and low-sensitibity dynamic mics, such as the Shure SM7B (#270247) and the Electro-Voice RE20 (#270009). But if your preamp doesn't have enough gain or the right impedance requirements, these mics won't perform well. So what do you do if you can't afford a high-end preamp with tons of gain? The Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator is the solution.The Cloudlifters address problems due to gain and impedance requirments by giving passive microphone signals a major inline boost, up to +25db of ultra-clean gain, while properly loading the microphones transformer for transparent operation. The Cloudlifter CL-1 is self contained, driven only by the phantom power from your mixer or preamp. Ideal for dynamics and ribbons alike, the CL-1 turns phantom power into the extra gain required for using passive microphones. The immediate dose of extra gain can make even a budget microphone/preamp combination sound clean and professional. For broadcasting and live sound, the active output signal of the CL-1 can prevent added noise over long cable runs. With endless uses, Cloudlifters are quickly becoming a standard addition to professional, project and home studios.In use with multi-mic recording:Top engineers have taken to using stereo ribbon mics, as well as pairs of SM7Bs as drum overheads to create a rich, powerful texture for drums. Another use for dual ribbons is on a guitar cab set up in stereo, fed by a two amp heads or a stereo amp. If you have a 2-channel preamp that doesn't have the gain/impedance requirements you need, a Cloudlifter CL-2 is just the ticket.Read what the pros are saying about the Cloudlifter:"It's simply about gain - the Cloudlifter is a clever and useful solution..." - Rob Tavaglione, Pro Audio Review February 2010"The Cloudlifter is a winner. It solves problems some ribbon-mic owners dont even know they have. It does exactly what it claims to do, and does so well." - Matthew Mcglynn, Recording Hacks February 2010Gives passive microphones up to +25dB of ultra clean gain; no need to reinvest in an expensive, high-gain premapDual-mono operation for multi-mic or stereo applicationsSelf-contained, driven only by the phantom power from your mixer or preampActive output signal prevents added noise over long cable runs |

Mic Placement
It's hard to overstate the importance of selecting the right mic placement for your recordings. There are five basic choices: Spot miking, distant miking, ambient miking, stereo miking, and combined miking. In this article you will learn a little bit about each choice.
Spot Miking: This placement is also known as close miking for obvious reasons. It basically means that you are placing the mic close to what you are recording. It's often used to cut the room sound out of the recording. Most home recordists don't have an acoustically treated space to record in so they generally don't want much of the room sound.
A big reason that people choose spot miking is so that each instrument can be isolated when many instruments are being recorded at once. That will give you more flexibility when it comes to mixing.
You should note that the closer you place your mic to the source the more bass that is recorded.
Distant Miking: This usually means placing the mic about three or four feet from the source. People usually choose distant miking when they are trying to get a more natural sound.
The biggest negative with distant miking is if you are recording multiple instruments at once you may get "bleed" from another source which makes mixing more difficult.
Distant miking also means that more of the room sound will be recorded. Unless you have a good understanding of acoustics and your room is well treated then this is usually a bad thing.
Ambient Miking: This means you are placing the mic far away from the source that the room sound plays a big part in what you are recording. Clearly with this technique you will want to have a good sounding room.
Stereo Miking: This means recording with two mics to capture the stereo field of your source. One mic will be panned all the way left and the other all the way right.
If you want to take this concept to it's extreme then you want to look into binaural recording.
Combined Miking: As the name implies this means combining two or more of the above techniques. The possibilities are endless. I think it's a good idea to really master the top four techniques before you try to mix different techniques together.
One common technique is to mix a close mic with an ambient mic. That way you still get the attack from your source but you also get the ambiance that you want to capture. This can give you a nice natural reverb if you have a good sounding room.
Mic placement is an extremely important part of getting a good sound. It's important to learn how different mic placements sound and to keep experimenting with different placements until you get the sound that you want.
