Re: Mic recommendations

I've heard nothing but good things about those... they're really that versatile, huh?

Yah. Use 'em on kick drums, toms, assorted percussion... timbales, conga... dejembe... tambourine's & shakers, guitar amps, bass amps, upright bass... fiddle... horns, leslie & keys... melodica... vocals, lotta hardcore & punk "screamo" stuff but even really great vocalists too... it's a broadcast mic like the RE20 & SM7... they get substituted a lot.

And no, the clips don't always break.

They will if you put the safety tape in the wrong place. I've had mine for a long time & they were old when I got 'em... if 'ya take care of your stuff the clips are fine.

Another nod to the Heil PR30 here for cab use.

Again on Wah Wah's recommendation

The engineer had never heard one, so we set it up along with a few of his favorites. I left it up to him to do his gig. As we were listening to playback, I asked him what combination we were listening to. He said "that's just the Heil...that's all we need." I couldn't agree more. Fantastic through a good PA too, it just sounds like a very large version of your amp.

Exactly what happened to us in the studio when I brought the PR30 with me for the cab - We listened to all the variations of mic combinations on the guitar tracks and I settled for almost pure PR30 in the end.

PR30 sounds like a winner.
IME ,the Sennheiser 906 is their best guitar/instrument mic. It has this full sound i appreciate.

I had a PR30 and sold it. It was OK but had this clinical and out of phase sound to it that didn't work for me. YMMV.

Re: Mic recommendations

So the PR-30 is a dynamic right. Do you position it the same way you would a sm57? Like a couple inches from the cone of the speaker?
