Username checks out! lol That movie, and in particular, that scene got me started playing music outside of my school band instrument. Appreciate you checkin it out! :)
I used to have the DR330 and the slim handheld version. I had a mic collection of around 45 mics back in the early 2000's. Sold most off though, down to only 10 now. Thanks for the memories!
Guessing you had either the 33 or 22 (handheld). I would love to check one of those out, but the prices for them are just crazy right now. Glad you got to take the nostalgia ride! Appreciate you checking it out!
A very versatile mic. My ears especially perked up as you demonstrated the figure 8 and omnidirectional patterns. On the 8, the off-axis rejection was notable. I thought the omni pattern sounded very pleasing. Great presentation as usual.
The null point on this mic is extreme. Literally NO signal coming in from the sides at all. The combo sound was probably the most even, though you're right the omni is nothing to sneeze at and being able to end address it to get a little more presence boost is pretty cool. Thanks for checking it out.
I love the look of this mic. Its construction is a testament to craftsmanship before CNC mass production. I was able to pick up a D33 at a reasonable cost. Another beautifully constructed microphone. Thanks for checking it out!
@@meistudiony I listened on mediocre AirPods at the gym - so hard to be discerning, but sounded good. The fact that it still works and sounds as good as it does speaks to the original quality. It would be interesting to hear it matched to an amp, (VINTAGE) or other to get the whole antique experience - I'm sure a tube amp in good shape would help to smooth it out - peace
@@redcabinacoustic-official I run the electric guitar examples through a tube amp, but more modern design. I have an old Bell (Gibson rebrand) stereo amp from the late 50s or early 60s that just sings. Maybe thats a better route to go on some of these older more rare mics.
@@meistudiony I think what you did is fine, and what most folks would do if they got ahold of a vintage mic . . . I was not referring to the source of audio, (guitar amp), but the signal chain of the mic. Instead of plugging the mic into a modern pre, rout it through something more age appropriate. I've done this with old recordings of 40's dance music; played through a vintage radio cabinet so I could hear it through the speakers and circuits that would have brought it to life back then. Often not "perfect" by modern standards, but sometimes it's just amazing. peace
@@redcabinacoustic-official ahhh. Gotcha. Yeah using the 610 tube pre on voice would have been approprite. I used the roq because of the high impedance and high gain. The mics sensitivity is lower than that of an sm7B. Figured it needed all the help it could get lol.
I think it’s great.
I love it. Great episode.
Thanks for checking it out! Appreciate it!
Love your videos, the history lesson is absolution my favorite part. Bttf is my fav. Movie.

Quenched, thanks....
Thanks for watching. The anticipation was quite anticlimactic for me. Still a very cool looking mic.
That is one freaking cool mic
It's definitely "obscure". ;)
Bugtustle checking in! Great vid (as usual)

Thanks
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Well done as usual
Appreciate you checking it out! Thank you!
So cool! Thank you so much Pags❤
Thanks for checking it out. Its such an odd ball mic. After listening back to it, I kinda really like it on electric bass.
