Thread Starter |  Little Blondies for chamber music?
Anyone here tried the Little blondie mics on classical ensembles? I am looking for a nice pair of omni's to use as a spaced pair in my setup, and am thinking they would be a cheap way to start.

| Camarada / Reinecke, Schumann, Martinu, Buss, Debussy - InstantEncore I used the Little Blondies as a main pair for this, just for kicks. Worked out alright. I think they are better as spots on harsher instruments, but the ensemble was quite happy with the results of the recording. |

Thank you very much for the recordings! They sound great Did you use any other mics on these tracks as well? I'm thinking I'll go ahead and buy 1, or a pair, I'm certain I'll find something to use them on. Does anyone else have a suggestion for a pair of omnis at or around 300-500 dollars? I'm not recording the London philharmonic here, just student concerts and recitals and local high schools. |

There are few places that the little blondie won't sound excellent. I bought 2 pairs just from reading the hype and immediately tested them out against my other mics, particular my overhead mics. Within a day or two my old overheads were on ebay, and I was bummed that I had just finished an entire album w/out my blondies!

I just ordered one : ) might be getting a matched one for it in another week or two. If I have a pair by my next gig I'll try a spaced pair I think. If not, I'll just stick my one on piano and see how it sounds! I can't wait to get it |
