What's that mic ?

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Hey guys, can anyone of you recognize the snare mic used here ?

 

[~BURNY~]

Shure Beta 56? Looks shorter though. Maybe PG 56

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

mmmm, it looks like none of those, the snare mic is on the left of the snare, looks like a small diaphragm condenser to me...
Oh and by the way, isn't it an AKG C414 on the hi-hat ? Its positioning is kinda weird...

Yeah that looks like a 414 on the hats, really weird position tho.
wheres the pic from?

 

[Andy Sneap]

looks like a shit photo to me

Lmao. Yeah, i'll second that...........

I'll third that. However, I'll take a wild guess and say it's possibly an Oktava MC012..... At least the shape in that photo seems like it.

It sort of looks like a Studio Projects C4 too...

I found this picture on The Haunted website. I just recently discovered rEVOLVEr (don't ask me why I've missed this album... maybe I was too busy listening to Andy's productions, haha) and I think that it sounds very good ! It was recorded at Studio Fredman, maybe James has some informations as to what mics they usually use since he's been there recently.

Looks like shure KSM (141?) on overheads.

 

[axeman720]

either an akg c451 or shure ksm 100 series.

its triggered as well, so i'm sure there is some replacement/blending on that new haunted record. i really like the sound of the new one though, very cool.

WHAT THE HELL is that overhead mic placing for??????

It's neither A/B nor X/Y placing.

clueless......

Could be a DIN/NOS?
I don't know... Wierd stuff.

 

[Frank'nfurter]

THAT is not Blumlein. Blumlein is 2 mics with 8-carracteristic, crossed like X/Y wiht a angle of 45 degree. It looks like a inversed ORTF, but that does'nt work.
Could only be a strange A/B placement.

In all kind of A/B placements the mics going outward not inward.

 

[~BURNY~]

You're right... Weird.

 

[Impy]

I think that one's called a Drunken XY

 

[Andy Sneap]

does it matter? if it sounded good why not eh!

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

And it does sound good indeed ! Did you listen to this album Andy ? By the way, do you still find time (or the will) to listen to metal records ?

 

[Andy Sneap]

yeah I thought it was really good. Quite a different sound, but good in an agressive way.
