Guitar Cabinet Mic

[Bill Bowley]

Would appreciate advice from the 'learned members' on the best buy for a cabinet mike for the AC50. I'm currently looking at either a Shure SM57 or a Sennheiser E609, how do they rate? With due regard for prices, any others that are proven performers in this task? I have noticed a Marshall unit, MARSHALL MXL 2001 MOGAMI MIC CONDENSER MICROPHONE (pictured) but not a lot reviews about it.

The Shure SM57 is generally regarded as the industry standard for that type of application and has been around for years.

I use one frequently and would certainly recommend it.

As a preference I use an E609 because I think they sound nicer.

Or you could use an AT4050 which is nicer still but more expensive.

Shure.

Thanks team, I guess I wasn't too far off the mark with the two main choices. I am still intending to go either for the Shure or Sennheiser, however 'overnight' here in Oz I bought a brand new Marshall Mogami unit (from the USA) as shown in the pic 'on impulse' to try it out, it's new and at a price of $99AUD (incl shipping) it was worth the whirl whilst I decide on the 'main unit' I think.

Is that where all that buzzing comes from ?????

The E609 picks up your buzzing quite nicely. It's also good at faithfully recording the hiss.

......Mmmmm, the information is getting more detailed as we progress

As opposed to taking the hiss . . .
