malpasomancs.com Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 I know this topic has been discussed at least a few times already, and I have done a search on this as well, so please bear with me. I am looking to find the best mic/mic pre combo, in the 5k nieghborhood, for recording a smooth male baritone vocal. I will be recording to a Mackie HDR24. I was thinking of a Neumann M149 to either a Cranesong Flamingo, or UA 2-610. I prefer a stereo unit so that I can use it on other instruments as well(but mainly for vox). I am not in an area where I can test these out first hand unfortunately - will probably order thru Fletcher at Mercenary. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.

jflush Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 The M149 could change your life! It made me buy a Flamingo! Talk about sweet! This is a mulching combo! I don't think you could go wrong buying into either of these two machines! I hope you make the right decision... I think I did! Very happy.

Pro Jules Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 I plug my 149(s) into: Neve 1073 Helios Focusrite TLA pre amps with eq to name a few.. The Flamingo is supposed to rock. I do this mostly for EQ the M149 throws out nearly line level signal, you could go flat into a compressor if you wanted to. (Der! Is the Flamingo a compressor?!!!) Over all I like Cransing gear I have the 'Hedd'. Fletcher of Mecenary Audio is on holliday, ask him when he gets back. http://www.mercenary.com tell him I sent you!

S_Gould Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 The Flamingo f***ing rocks - it really made me re-evaluate my microphone cabinet. An M149 should arrive at my studio tomorrow or Monday, I'll bribe a couple of musicians & singers to come put the combination through its paces next week. I expect it will live up to expectations, but I am VERY critical of gear and have been disappointed before... Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
