I like to collect obscure and modified microphones. I mean, when you need a U87, you can rent them just about anywhere. But when you need something funky or different, then where do you go?
Collecting strange and obscure mics to me, is like creating new and original colors. Colors that can be used to paint a picture in a different light.
Here is a recent find, they are hand made wooden omni sdc's called "Little Woodies".
These little gems sound fantastic on acoustic instruments and as drum overheads. They have a very different, almost organic sound, especially on strings. What are you’re favorite “hidden gems”?
