AKG C412
Identical to the 414. This features an original CK12 brass capsule - as per the C12.
Very nice sounding microphone that can be used as a pair with our original 414.
AKG C414 EB x 2
Original - complete with brass capsules.
These microphones are far removed from modern 414's.
They have a very natural and flattering response.
AKG C451 x 2
Industry classics, the predecessors of the low noise C480's.
We have a variety of capsules including cardioid and figure of 8, but are mostly used in cardiod on snare drums and hats, and occasionally acoustic guitars.
Calrec CM1050C x 2
Not very widely known, but lots of engineers are beginning to wise up to Calrec pencil mics.
These incredibly versatile microphones work great on a variety of applications.
Oh they're also from Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire.
DPA 4011 cardioid x 2
These ultra precise pencil mics are incredibly natural sounding.
Perfect for capturing sound with incredible accuracy.
DPA 4006 omni x 2
DPA 4006 is one of the most popular types in the DPA microphone range and is one of the most accurate microphones available.
Milab VIP-50 x 2
Everyone who uses one of these odd-shaped Mics wants one.
Unlike any other mic, the VIP50 combines accuracy and detail with a full, warm sound making it perfect for acoustic guitars, ambience, strings, brass, overheads - you name it.
Think C414 with balls.
Milab DC93
Another great condenser microphone from Milab with a small rectangular capsule.
Milab DC96B
SDC Milab with a small rectangular capsule.
Neumann Fet 47
Classic, punchy FET based microphone. Used a lot of bass instruments and kick drums.
Neumann U87
If all else fails, bang up a U87, the world's most popular vocal mic. A reliable standby.
Neumann KM84 (plus KMS85i)
The solid state successor to the tube KM54, these are pretty much industry standard for acoustic guitars and snares.
Pearl ELM-A
Fantastic modern large diaphragm stereo microphone with a very smooth and natural response.
The Pearl microphones are an offshoot from the original Milab, and share the same rectangular capsule design, albeit with a much longer diaphragm.
Natural response and very low noise.
Schoeps cmc5
Accurate and detailed small diaphragm condenser with a very low self noise.
