Happy New Year, everyone!
Our friends at ProAudio.com are kicking off 2012 with an excellent wireless microphone giveaway. Enter to win a Sennheiser EW 135 G3 bundle, which includes the microphone and rackmount receiver.
This is a top quality mic system that retails for $899.
Audix Microphones has just launched a new microphone giveaway. Enter to win an Audix CX-212B, a great all-around multi-pattern, dual diaphragm condenser microphone. Use it live or in the studio on drums, vocals, acoustic instruments, guitar cabs and more.
This mic lists for $425.
In this month’s Recording Hacks microphone giveaway, which is another mind-blower, enter to win a stereo pair of Telefunken Ela M 260 microphones. This is a small-diaphragm tube condenser microphone with a circuit and transformer designed by AMI.
Reviewers have used this mic on drum overheads, acoustic guitar, orchestras, even pump organ with great results.
Earthworks has just teamed up with Modern Drummer Magazine for a new microphone giveaway.
Enter to win one of three prizes: a DP30/C tom tom mic with RM1 RimMount, an LP1530 Level-Pad (-15 or -30dB attenuation), or a KP1 KickPad, which is a mic pad and EQ for kick drum, but also works great on vocals and bass.
For those of you who are pro or amateur audio engineers, you know capturing the low end can be a tough task. A good mic is a great place to start! Enter to win an Audix D6, a $200 mic that was designed for bass drums, but works equally well on bass cabinets and any other low frequency sources.
We’re 2/3 thru October, and I’m just getting around to posting the monthly Recording Hacks microphone giveaway. Shame!
As with every other month, here’s a chance to win a mic nicer that 99.9% of us currently own. Enter to win a Blackspade UM25, a premium tube condenser modeled after the venerable Telefunken Ela M 251E — arguably one of the most sought-after microphones of all time. The UM25 is worth $2,099!
Earthworks has been sponsoring a great microphone giveaway each month. In September, they’ve teamed up with Alto Music, which is one of the best independent music stores in the country, up in Middletown, NY. Enter to win an Earthworks SR40V High Definition Vocal Microphone. This mic retails for $1,499.
I recently featured a few Earthworks Microphones giveaways, and each month I link to the Recording Hacks mic giveaway. In August they’ve teamed up for a mic geek’s dream giveaway!
Enter to win a matched pair of Earthworks QTC30 condenser mics. This set of small-diameter omni condensers retails for a whopping $2,499!
I can tell you from experience that the toughest instrument to mic up, live or in the studio, is a drum kit. It’s a skill, but you might as well start with a nice set of drum mics.
Enter to win a CAD Touring 7 kit, which includes four TSM 411 dynamic mics for use on snare and toms, two GXL 1200 condenser mics for overheads, and one D12 large-diaphragm dynamic for kick.
The good people at Earthworks are running a second mic giveaway right now.
This is a mic for a more specific use, but if you’re a serious sound guy or gal, you’ll want to enter to win an M30s Small-diaphragm Wide Spectrum Omnidirectional Measurement Microphone. Just like their FB page to enter.
