This site has a Microphone Database by Warren Goff. It appears that this is a large database of specs and images that Warren has built up to perform a variety of things. It keeps track of a large number of microphones and images, it searches online auctions for microphones and records prices, it searches newsgroups and loads data from other sites (including mine).
It looks like one of the programs that has an organic life of its own. It is interesting that I couldn’t find a place to download or order the system. If anyone gets a hold of this system, let me know what you think.
Peavy has a version of the Superlux coming out this September. It seems to have the same grooved shell, but has a on/off switch and a mini-xlr connection. From what I have heard, it has the same sort of element – like the modern green bullet without the guts of an older shure element. If it is like the superlux, it will certainly be a very playable mic. I can’t fault the superlux except that it is not as gutsy as the JT-30 or a vintage shure element.
Lately I’ve been finding a whole bunch of good harp players on MySpace. Here’s one I liked. The southern rock version of “Got my Mojo Working” kills.
