We just got 2 new Audio Technica's. They're pretty good...i have only used them in one service, and forgot to compare to our other ones. They are Artist Elites. The model # is EA4100 i think. i'll update if it is wrong. http://www.audiotechnica.com/prodpro/profiles/AE4100.html

The other microphones that we also have are two Audix 0M2's and an Audix OM5.   I can't remember if they're OM5's or 6's, probably 5's.

We have 6 micrphones that we never use anymore, and those are some Audio Technica's. I don't know which model they are, nor care which model they are , The grils are all bent and wrecked.

Which microphones do you use for your 'house of worship'?

Kick - AKG D-112

I'm really beginning to take a shine to the Sennheiser evolution series. The e865 is a condenser mic and sounds great on our vocalists.  Lots of output too.  Next, I'd like to audition the e609 for guitar.

[David G Ã…hman]

Choir, OH, SOLO: AKG 535
Solo, drums: SM58
Bass/guitarr: IMP2 & Phonic DB2
Wireless: SAMSON SERIES 1 (i would not recommend those to anybody. crap!!), Sennheiser EW100.

There is a pretty heavy ambience (is it called that?) in the "room" so miking drums is almost never necesary.. maybe kick sometimes. Most times it just makes things worse.

[SoundBoy19]

Handheld wireless-Shure UC series Beta 87c
Lapel wireless-Telex FMR200 (mic is good, bodypack has a high-low gain switch instead of a dial though)
Backup, Solo vocals-SM58(3)
Spares-Peavey PVM38's(3) (would like to get wireless beta 58's and switch the sm58's to backups)
Choir-Audio Technica AT835's(2) (would like to try at3035's or ksm27's)
Bongos-Peavey Celebrity Series Condenser EC1 (found it laying around and decided to play around with it)

We're planning on dropping our drums into a pit and enclosing them and we haven't decided which mics to use yet.

I've also found an original Shure 55SW That I am planning on putting up for display and possibly break it out once in a while to use to record with.

Podium - Audio Technica PRO-49  
Ambience Mics for Recording - Superlux CM-K8H cardiod in X-Y
Bass - Countryman 85 DI
Keyboards - Whirlwind DI
Drums - No mics - Sanctuary is too small

Misc. Comments: I really like the PRO-238 on most vocals. Its large diaphram provides warm and detailed sound. Somewhat pop sensitive. The CK-H8K/H hypercardiod is wonderful on guitar, especially 12 strings, harp and almost any other stringed instrument. I have used Superlux PRO-268 mics on choirs and they work very well. A pair will be replacing our choir mics as soon as I can get them. AKG C1000's can make good vocal mics for some women. I do not like the podium mic and plan to replace it soon

[bates15]

Timmy, have you ised the wireless system of Audix yet? Let me know what you think of it compared to the Shure ULX-P series. I am talking about the transmnitter/receiver part. The wont mess up on the mic soon....

[Tim Padrick]

I was not aware that they had one.  When I find one with an OM7 head for a bargain price, I might give one a try.  So far I have not had a request for a wireless, so it will have to be really cheap.

The Sabine is very interesting, but they don't offer it with an OM7 head.  I am exceedingly skeptical of the notion that their modeling trickery can make an OM3 or OM5 head sound anywhere near as good as an OM7.

[Stuie]
