Since hi-hat cymbals produce razor-sharp sounds at super-high frequencies, AT2021 can effortlessly tolerate up to 145 decibels, making it deserving of the top slot in today’s list. The Audio-Technica ATM450 doesn’t get as much love as it rightfully should. I think it’s massively underrated, as I find it performs extremely well as a hi-hat microphone option.

The gentle boost in the high frequencies helps to ever so slightly accentuate the upper harmonics of the ukulele's sound. A boost like this makes for a bright, clearer ukulele sound. Directionality: Select a directional microphone to better suit the various miking techniques used in recording ukulele.

If you aren’t too familiar with the technicalities of recording drums, you may want to consider a simpler microphone model; in the case of this list, everything except Sennheiser’s SKM 835-XSW-A fits the bill. Conclusion This mic comes with a low RF susceptibility that mitigates radio interference so your takes aren’t ruined with unnecessary noise. The main career of the SM.81 started on 28 July 1936. On a mission dedicated to supporting General Francisco Franco and his " alzamiento" (uprising) against the Republican government at the start of the Spanish Civil War; 12 SM.81s under the guise of Spanish civilian ownership took off from Elmas, near Cagliari, to fly to Morocco carrying 63 non-uniformed troops led by Colonel Ivanoe Bonomi. The anticipated ferry flight was around 1,135km (705mi), but several problems occurred en route. Powerplant: 3 × Alfa Romeo 125 R.C.35 9-cylinder air-cooled radial piston engine, 485kW (650hp) each

We’ll get to the specifics of each of these mics shortly, butfirstlet’s talk a bit more about the sound of a ukulele. Most mics that are used for recording acoustic guitar have arrived via a circuitous route that usually involves a drum kit, or bits of it. It's hard to think of two instruments that are less alike but what works well for miking up a cymbal usually works well for an acoustic guitar too – after all, it's all about capturing transients, clarity and that high-end shimmer. AKG Pro Audio’s Perception 170 is a microphone that looks, sounds, and feels better than most similarly-priced models. The KSM44 is a workhorse mic that delivers stellar quality and features, offering fantastic value. It features a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, with no crossover distortion, minimal harmonic and intermodulation distortions and premium electronic components. As a bonus for the audio geeks, it also features gold-plated internal and external connectors.

And: This mic doesn't have high output. (5,6 mV!) If you have a silent sound source, for example a small bodied nylon string guitar, you need an appropriate quality audio interface for good result. (It's actually an elementary thing.) Sennheiser’s SKM 835-XSW-A is different in that you can customize virtually all aspects of its performance. SM.81s serving in Ethiopia had markings applied to distinguish them in SAR missions. The normal camouflage pattern was yellow, green and brown. The all-over dark olive green scheme was introduced later, when the aircraft were used only in transport missions. The Transport Group Terracciano, commanded by Maggiore Egidio Pellizzari, was formed in Bergamo and transferred to Goslar, in Lower Saxony, Germany, in January 1944. Here 44 SM.81s were waiting for Italian pilots. [2] The aircraft, in bad condition, were restored to an operational state by their future crews. Administratively the Italians were subordinated to the ANR but operationally to the Luftwaffe under the German designation of "Transport Gruppe Italien 10". [3]

Accurate transient response: It's always preferable to have a pronounced transient response when miking stringed instruments. There is a lot of information in the relatively fast transients of the nylon strings of the ukulele. On 8 April, the first squadron equipped with 12 SM.81s, was deployed to Šiauliai in Lithuania, followed by the Savoia-Marchetti from the 2nd and 3rd squadrons. The Terracciano operated over the Baltic States, Russia and Finland, evacuating wounded soldiers and carrying fresh troops to the front. [4] On 16 June 19 SM.81s landed in Immola, Finland, bringing from Estonia the technical personnel of the German combat task force Gefechtsverband Kuhlmey sent to strengthen the fighter force in Finland. [5] The MA-200 features a very distinct quality and voice. This is a mic to seriously look into if you want something truly unique. It features hand-selected 3-micron gold-sputtered capsules, a Jensen audio transformer, and military-grade JAN 5840 vacuum tubes. This mic is renowned for working well with acoustic guitars, especially with stereo miking techniques. It has also developed a reputation as a great microphone for orchestral instruments, hi-hats, cymbals, and even vocal choirs.It features an impressive frequency response of 30 Hz to 18 kHz. That, with its very special character, makes the MA-200 tube condenser mic great for acoustic instruments, vocals, piano, drum overhead, orchestra, and spot miking. The name itself should also warn about its use on many types: anticorrosione means anti-corrosion, what would be the point of such a paint on canvas or wood structures like those of the two Siai trimotors?
