AKG C 4000 B
The AKG C 4000 B Stage & Studio Condenser Microphone is the only electret dual large-diaphragm transducer mic in the world, and a versatile, cost-efficient tool for high-quality recording. Based on the famous Solid Tube with a similar sound, the AKG C4000 B Mic uses a transistorized impedance converter/pre-amp instead of a tube circuit. Its transformerless output stage ensures exceptionally accurate low-frequency response.
AKG C 3000 B
The C 3000 B is a second-generation “C 3000” condenser microphone. The original C 3000 was released in 1993. It was black in color and had two separate capsules — cardioid and hyper-cardioid, both externally biased or “true” condenser designs. The ‘B’ revision was introduced in 1999, and was essentially a new design, with a single electret cardioid capsule, in a silver-bronze color.

Unlike most ribbon motors designed today with an offset ribbon the Cascade FAT HEAD houses a hand-tuned ribbon element that incorporates the legendary symmetrical ribbon design. This design offers a true figure 8 pattern. The corrugated aluminum membrane itself is positioned in the center from front to back, thus producing a balanced audio input signal to both sides of the ribbon assembly.
AKG C 5600
To meet the need of a good "on the road" mic AKG created the C 5600, which provides a similar sound quality as the C 414 in an incredibly rugged housing, i.e., road-tough large-diaphragm technology.

AKG D112

The result is a kick drum sound that ideally balances precise definition and forceful impact. The D112 MKII is also an excellent choice for use with bass cabinets, trombones, and other bass instruments.
Cascade 731R
Unlike most ribbon motors designed today with an offset ribbon element the new Cascade 731R houses a hand-tuned dual ribbon element motor that incorporates the legendary symmetrical ribbon design. This design offers a true figure 8 pattern. The corrugated aluminum membrane itself is positioned in the center from front to back, thus producing a balanced audio input signal to both sides of the ribbon assembly. This design is very useful when executing a mid-side or Blumlein recording set-up and also great for live stage use.
AKG C414 XLS
The 5-pattern C414 has been one of the most universal and versatile large diaphragm microphone for decades — widely used for accurate, exquisitely detailed pickup of acoustic instruments.

The head amp in the M9 is a 12AX7 tube in a circuit that is optimized for super-wide dynamic range and low noise.
Sennheiser e 609
Building on the performance and popularity of the Evolution 609 and legendary MD 409 dynamic microphones, Sennheiser has re-engineered the e609's capsule for a punchier sound with more clarity to better capture the raw energy of guitar amps and loud brass instruments. Musicians and engineers flocked to the e609 due to its distinctive side-address design, supercardioid pickup pattern and famous low-mid growl.

Beyerdynamic TG X 50
The TG-X 50 is a large-diaphragm dynamic microphone intended for use on kick drum and other bass instruments.
It is built into the case of the M 380, but differs from that mic in just about every other respect. The TG-X 50 is hypercardioid, and uses a traditional moving-coil capsule rather than a repurposed headphone driver.
Sennheiser MD 421
One of Sennheiser's most popular microphones! It's the MD 421's versatility that has made this mic so widely-acclaimed. Its ability to handle high pressure levels makes it a natural for guitars and drums, but that's just the beginning. The MD 421 II's full-bodied cardioid pattern and five-position bass control means it's an excellent choice for most instruments, as well as group vocals.
KEL HM-1
Use the HM-1 to tone down bright sources such as fiddles, brass and mandolins, thicken up a thin vocal, or add heft to small guitar amps. Send background vocals to the background or darken a set of drums if a tune calls for it. Sounds great as drum overhead. The HM-1 is not a "neutral" mic. It doesn't sound "better" than other microphones, Rather it sounds "different".
Shure SM 58
Virtually every serious studio and live sound rig have several SM58s. Why? Because the Shure SM58 gives you three of the most important things a microphone can deliver: quality, consistency, and durability.

Audix D2
For bringing out the real, dynamic sound of your drum toms and congas, nothing beats the D2! The D2 accurately reproduces the warmth and punch you listen for from percussion, leaving out the muddy, indistinct "boom" that can mar recording. The D2's natural warmth also makes it a great mic for saxophones and other woodwinds requiring a true, sensitive, yet big, reproduction.
Shure 520 DX
This famous harmonica microphone is the perfect tool for live performers. The Shure 520 DX "Green Bullet" boasts a handy volume control knob at the base of the microphone so it's easy to adjust your levels mid-peformance.
