Got the mic yesterday Paul. It's a great mic, but it is too hot to work on my keyboard. I can't turn the input down low enough to keep it from overdriving. I can run it through a channel on the mixer and then to the keyboard. That way it's still really hot but usable. That's just one of the great mics for which I don't have a use. It's an Astatic CTM-77 hand-held condenser mic if anyone is interested.
I fiddled with it for an hour again yesterday! I keep going back to my favorite: Sennheiser 855. I have two of those.
I also have Shure SM58, EV PL 84 (2), Behringers (3), some old EVs, Sampson Q7, AKG D5, Heihl hand-held condenser, CAD 189, and half a dozen Sampson R11s still new in the box and a couple more in my bag (I use these for guest mics. They are good mics and if someone bangs it up or even steals it I don't care.) I also have a couple of EV 767s that I can't find right now. But they are here somewhere! I know I'm forgetting some too.
The two on the way are one of Gary's headsets and a Samson Q8 I bought off Ebay for $28.! Supposedly it's an open-box special from a dealer. Best price I've seen elsewhere is around $100.
It will probably be for sale again soon.
