Hi, I'm planning on buying a mic, I found which sounds good, and it's only £100, but I don't wanna blow a wad on something that turns out to be rubbish. It's a RV8 Large Diaphragm Microphone, a condenser mic... |

100 pounds for a mic? |

They don't list any of the specifications on the page. Its big selling point is that fact that it "will deliver results comparable to products costing considerably more". I don't know much about microphones, but I do know that with any music gear, you get what you pay for. And when you pay less than you should expect on a per feature basis for something, you end up getting lower quality. With microphones, the first thing they should be listing (IMO) are specifications (signal to noise, frequency response, etc) so you know what kind of sounds you are going to be able to record with it. Having said that, do you have a good microphone preamp and mixer/audio interface/AD converters? Because if you end up buying a quality microphone, and use cheap materials to record with, it might as well be a cheap computer microphone. |

Behringer C-2 gives you 2 condenser mics for not lots, but you will need phantom power. They're tiny too. |

Yeah, but then you have to buy behringer, giving you a 50% chance it will stop working the day after the warrantee runs out. |

Well, we've used them both twice now live, the C-2s and a mixer, and they've worked fine. |

Behringer mixers suck. Cheap components to cut down cost. The levels on mine were uneven, and there was an extremely nasty hiss on it anything the effect levels were turned up slightly. Buying behringer is like gambling as to whether your unit is going to be a good one or a bad one. |

I quote from the search for my Behringer digi-delay pedal in London yesterday: "We don't stock Berhrinjer cos they're shooooiiiiiiit" Butbutbut I'm not using it as a guitar pedal..... The mixer we bought is fine. |
