Any recommendations? I like oktava microphones. Quite cheap but better than chinese made microphones (samson, behringer, etc...): http://oktava-online.com/ I have a mk219, a mk220 and a matched pair of mk012 (this is a bit expensive if you want all the capsules) The mk219 I bought on ebay for 56 EUR, and it's a really good mic. There's also a guy who make modified versions of those mics, but the price doubles (at least): http://oktavamod.com/ > Loki HTH Ciao -- Emiliano Grilli Linux user #209089 http://www.emillo.net _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
