I might actually use that Tascam recorder…

“With leather?” (For those who know…)

Yep

First we’re going to see how the onboard uni mics work...

Why not?

It is the easiest way to start with.

I still have very good results with recording using the onboard mics of my Sony:





(in opposite of all the consumer electronics Sony produced over the last years this Sony PCM M-10 is still a "No Brainer")

Some of the recordings I did with this one ended up in final productions....

If they’re that rare, finding a pair will be twice as hard…

If not the “cheap” AKGs, a cheap ribbon (fine China).

First we’re going to see how the onboard uni mics work!

If small diaphragm would work, KEL HM-1s are what Kelly built his reputation on and they are also excellent mics. I had two pair; again with the "what was I thinking..." You can find them in stereo pairs. Again, rare but more easily spotted in the wild than HM-7s.

I think a large diaphragm is the way to go. Fairly cheap, durable and able to handle good SPLs. Also a wide frequency response typically.

As we add horns, it will get loud…
