Audio Technica Microphone

Rated 5 out of 5 by Quackington from Great, affordable micPrimary use: oral history.Bought these mics to replace some Shure WL51s that have been giving me some problems, and these are much better at picking up sound at lower levels of gain on the recorder. Tested them on a Zoom H5, which gets a lot noiser at gains of 6 and above, and that needed a 7 or more for the Shures. It picks up the ATs fine a bit under 6. (Incidentally, tried them briefly on a Tascam DR100-mkII and these mics picked up with no trouble at a gain of 3).These are bigger than the Shures, especially with the windscreen on, but I'm not producing theatre. I'm interviewing people and want good audio. Audio is clear, low noise, and the mics are well built with a pretty long mic cord. You'll need your own XLR cable to connect the mic to the recorder. Each mic runs off phantom power or a single AA battery, and I've been using the battery to extend the life of the Zoom H5. I may update this later to let you know how long the battery lasts.Only minor issue I have: the battery fits a bit too snugly in its compartment. Nice to not have it rattling around, but it's a little bit of work to remove it.They are a pretty amazing buy at this price. Funding is always a big concern in public history, and it's really great to buy two mics for the price of one higher end mic, while not losing much that your ears will be able to detct. With these and a Zoom H5 or a Tascam DR-100mkII, you can put together a very good field recording kit for $ (I'm including the mic cables in the cost; not including the memory card or batteries).

Great Technics knock off

Though a knock off of the Technics 1200 series TT, this unit still performs as good. The tone arm isn't that much lighter, tho I've seen reviews saying it is, and the motor torque seems comparable to the Technics. Start up is quick and easy, manual-only operation, which doesn't bother me in the least. Still have to test to see whether the built in pre-amp really affects the high frequencies and cartridge loading that I've read so much about. I will bench test the TT to see if it's truly a concern. Right now, tho, it's the most affordable upgrade to my old Pioneer that I can muster on my budget, and it seems super well built. Very heavy plinth seems rock solid. I haven't had a chance to listen to it much, tho, since I got it, work has been commanding all my time. Unit arrived from seller just fine, a bit of tape glue was on the dust cover, but that should come off pretty easily. For a reject unit, I found everything worked as it should, mechanically and electronically, so I'm not sure why it was rejected (label on the box said it was a reject). It works for me and everything on it seems to be in sound mechanical and electrical order. I can't complain. Anything that I find amiss, I'm sure I can fix it myself, it's not a big deal, I'm no stranger to phonographs of all kinds. The price point was good and the shipping was free, so that was a good deal, too. Many have complained about the counterweight being too light, but compared to many other vintage TT's, I find that it's just fine. Since I play a lot of older vinyl, a heavier stylus pressure is fine anyway. A Shure M-44 performs nicely on this unit with plenty of output compared to the stock AT 93 it comes with. Overall, a good starter table for someone looking to get into the higher end of things. I'm glad it plays at 78 RPM as well, that's important for what I do for restoration work. Overall, a very good deal.

Audio Technica Microphone

1) Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB. (from here on, I will refer to this as the '120' and the AT-LP60 as the '60) This is a great turntable. It looks better, feels better, but I can't say that I can tell the difference in sound it produces. Some of the things we pay extra for on that model are: a) Quartz timing control. This is something of value.
