About this deal

Andersson, Lennart (2008). A History of Chinese Aviation: Encyclopedia of Aircraft and Aviation in China until 1949. Taipei, Republic of China: AHS of ROC. ISBN 978-957-28533-3-7. Lower priced microphones sound quite good most of the time, but it takes a lot more effort in the post-production process to get them to that place. You’ll need to do extensive mixing to get a studio-level sound from your hi-hats. This mic's almost flat frequency response curve does have a slight lift at the treble end but essentially it's going to capture a very faithful rendition of your playing. This honesty can be a little disconcerting to listen to at first but it's more desirable than trying to fix a poorly coloured sound with EQ. The Savoia-Marchetti SM.81 first saw combat during the Second Italo-Abyssinian War, where it showed itself to be versatile, serving as a bomber, transport and reconnaissance aircraft. SM.81s also fought in the Spanish Civil War with the Aviazione Legionaria and were among the first aircraft sent by the fascist powers to aid Francisco Franco.

Some engineers claim that the Neumann KM184 is the best pencil-style condenser microphone, and to be honest, it is hard to disagree. This mic is just sensational. Summary There could be a lot to say on this famous green too and on the description made in books and the reproduction by model paint companies... one of the most common green primer was actually a blue translucent paint that after applied to the parts had to be oven-dried. This process turned the colour into a green but depending on the length of the process it could take different shades. Was this paint really similar to a specific FS ? And were the different greens sometime seen different paints or just the result of different curing processes on the same original paint ? Mind, this was a primer, the actual final finish was not particularly important. Pointing the KM 184 at a ukulele from a distance (about 4-8 feet) will capture a clean, full sound of the uke with no worries of an exaggerated bass response (due to the proximity effect). The 184 will “hear” the ukulele similarly to how our ears do naturally.

If you value simplicity and power in your microphones, AKG’s Perception 170 is a perfect fit for you. Nady’s CM-88 is almost a decade old, yet it remains a staple hi-hat mic for drummers on a cash-strapped budget. We’ll get to the specifics of each of these mics shortly, butfirstlet’s talk a bit more about the sound of a ukulele. Does this matter, when an acoustic guitar's frequency range sits well within these parameters? Well, that's up to you. Some people prefer a little less top end anyway because that's where the handling noise sits. Others would rather capture the full performance so they can sculpt it to their heart's content with EQ. This microphone delivers crystal clear mids and high-end frequencies, making it perfect for cymbals and overheads. It really captures subtle tones and accentuates differences in how the hi-hats are played with each stroke. The sound is balanced and not too sharp.

In North Africa and Italy, SM.81s were used more and more as night bombers, no longer assigned to anti-ship and day-light bombing after the first year of war. 145 Group delivered as of the end of January 1941: 11,600 men and 1,140tonnes (1,260tons) of various materials, in 3,200 flying hours. It has a switchable 10 dB pad, allowing you to place it near louder sound sources. That tends to help if you’re struggling with a bit of bleed from the other drums, but you likely won’t need to use it. Variants [ edit ] SM.81 Three-engine bomber, transport aircraft, 535 built. SM.81B Experimental twin-engine prototype, one built. Operators [ edit ] Republic of China

Even if this aircraft was used for many tasks and by many units, the modest speed of the S.81 soon led to it being replaced by the SM.79 for many applications. One of the later SM.81 models developed had two Isotta Fraschini Asso inline liquid cooled engines with 626kW (840hp). But its performance was quite disappointing, including 330km/h (210mph) maximum speed, so the modifications were not successful. The AT2035 is a great-sounding mic that offers unparalleled value. This mic is for anyone on a budget that still wants great sounding guitars, vocals, and more. All things considered, Nady’s CM-88 offers performance and versatility that you won’t find in similarly-priced products.

Its uncolored sonic signature vividly captures the sounds the cymbals are making, while the broad frequency response range ensures you’ll hear every detail in your recordings. Of more interest is its frequency response curve that's incredibly flat. Self-noise is very low, output is high and it exhibits minimum colouration, even off axis. In short, it’s a dream to work with. Reproduction is faithful and its uniform, transparent character makes multi-mic setups a breeze. Low-frequency roll-off: The ukulele is a high-pitched instrument (the lowest fundamental of the common uke being C4 or ~ 262 Hz). Therefore, we shouldn't worry about capturing the low end when miking a ukulele.There are many ways to manually remove hi-hat audio bleeding, such as ramping up a highpass filter or positioning your microphones a bit differently. This is a small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone that has a transparent and clear sound comparable to premium tube mics but at a fraction of the cost. The Mojave Audio MA-200 is another premium choice for vintage lovers. It is one of the best acoustic guitar mics on this list that is equally competent at recording many other instruments as well. 6. Shure KSM44A With its extensive frequency response coupled with a transformerless design, the AT4041 delivers a smooth, well-rounded sound that stays true to the natural tone of the sound source. What I loved about this microphone the most is the combination of its easy-to-use, easy-to-set benefits, which makes it perfect for both beginners and seasoned veterans. Pros

When using this mic you will notice the midrange is flat and uncolored. With the low-end you may perceive a roll-off, but really everything is reduced evenly like a shelf filter. The response remains flat all the way to the lowest frequency of 40 Hz. The journey should have been flown in less than four and a half hours at 260–270km/h (160-170mph), but on encountering strong headwinds at 1,000m (3,280ft) they climbed to 3,500m (11,480ft). the best cruise altitude for the Alfa Romeo 125 engines. After five hours they were still an hour from their final destination of Melilla in Morocco. Trying to maintain tight formation despite the clouds was also fuel-costly, with non-linear flight, only nine aircraft managed to land at Melilla. One ditched in the sea, another crash-landed and a third force-landed without damage in Algeria. The remaining aircraft arrived with an average of only 130L (34US gal) of fuel remaining in the tanks, the most being the 200L (53US gal) left. This aircraft was sent to search for the missing SM.81s. Being only 3% of the total fuel capacity, this was enough for just a few minutes of flight and meant that, with only a slightly stronger headwind, all of them would have been lost or forced to land in Algeria. The surviving aircraft were valuable assets and soon put to use as troop-transports and bombers. Another important note is that the microphone or equipment you choose is not the most important part of recording audio. In fact, there are many factors that are arguably more important than the choice of microphone. These include: Many inexpensive microphones tend to sound great when used for recording or live playing, but they don’t last as many years. Their casing either wears out, or their internal wiring goes awry.

Despite the fact that many small diaphragm mics feature a limited frequency response, the SM81 does not have this problem, with a frequency range of 20 Hz – 20 kHz. Obviously, it is not a large-diaphragm mic, so it may not sound quite as warm as other mics right off the bat, but this is nothing that EQ can’t fix. Since hi-hat cymbals produce razor-sharp sounds at super-high frequencies, AT2021 can effortlessly tolerate up to 145 decibels, making it deserving of the top slot in today’s list.
