Recording
I've been hoping to get a little more use out of my Sharp MD DR-7 recorder by augmenting it with a T-style stereo mic for a while. All the halfway-decent mics I've looked at run in the $100 range, so I've been putting it off. A month or so back, I started seeing reviews of VisiVox mics, built by John Enoch up in British Columbia, that people said were very high quality as well as relatively cheap. You can buy them from the site directly, or look for their occasional direct sales of items on eBay. I checked eBay and managed to catch one of their t-style stereo mics for $29 so I ordered it.
This a a nice mic. Very sensitive, nicely balanced. I've been using it only a couple of days, testing it out with simple environmental recordings and acoustic guitar, and so far I'm really happy with it. A lot more clarity than my Shure SM-57. And about 5% of the size to boot.
