Sarah Palins

HAHAHAHAH !!!!

Any updates on these? Are they available now? Anyone received one yet? I'm in for one at that price.

Haha the name has officially been changed to Sarah Pallins.

If people are interested you can order them from: 12gaugemicrophones.weebly.com

For more info read the rest of the thread, theres an audio sample in the first post!!

Thanks again everyone!!

Can I repeat the question of another earlier? Any idea about shipping to the UK? Am a shooter myself and would love a couple of these!

What about... FULL MINANT

Worldwide Shipping!

See that you went with the Red 12. I will buy these babies asap.

Do you think there will be any problems at customs or will clearly marking them do the trick?

haha I asked the post office, they said as long as they've been cleaned of residue (obviously) and they're described correctly they should be fine. I haven't had any armed officials show up at my door yet...

Haha brilliant. I wont send you some of my old cartridges to use then!

Would it be possible to make dynamic mics in those shells? First that came to mind when i saw them (before i read omni cardioid) was TOMS! If so i'd get 5 from you straight away aswell as that grenade mic

I'm already working on 2 more models (2 different colors) 1 cardioid condenser and 1 dynamic.

The grenade was joke.

Probably.

Perfect, will be very interested in those aswell! And i will still hold you to that grenade

So I thought I would try and post a real-world application of these little mics. This is a small sample of an early mix of the session I had last weekend where I got a chance to use my mics as many places as I could.

Drum OH: Stereo pair of RED12s
Kick:At4050
Snare:sm57

Acoustic and vocals tracked together:
Acoustic Guitar:Stereo pair of RED12s
Vocals: At4050 in fig8, nulls pointing at guitar

(The musician wanted a roomier sounding cd, so I pulled the RED12's about 12 inches away from his guitar, where as in my first sample they were about 4 inches.)

Bass: DI

Lead Electric Guitar: sm57 on the cone with a RED12 about 10 feet away.

Pre: Digimax lt via ADAT into my stock 002 into pt 7.4 le

Congrats..!.. Sounds very good..I thought about your mic when I was watching " Shark Tank"..Maybe you should pitch it..heh..Good luck man...

Mine arrived on Monday. I plan to use them on guitar amps for a band that's on our morning TV show tomorrow.

I agree, in brief testing these sound surprisingly good!

Received mine today. First impressions from just messing around with it for a bit are good. I'm surprised at how good it sounds. It is also very well made for being in a shotgun shell! I love it. When I get some time I'll do some samples and a better review on it. thumbsupthumbsup

Hair Trigger

It's got kick! heh

Chamber music

This is the Gearslutz equivalent of making guitar amps out of cigarette boxes

Marshall-boro? heh

What About

Nirvanator ( Nirvana Terminator)

Cobends (cobain ends)

LSR ( Last Sight Red ) the last that kurt saw

heh

I bought two of them. I can't wait to check them out. Even if they don't get a ton of use, I can use it as an omni talkback mic. Great conversation starter.

Hey guys! I can't wait for everyone's reviews!

If you haven't read it already please check out Producer/Engineer Joel Hamilton's "Good Recording Stuff" Blog featuring a little snippet about my RED12's as well as a bunch of other really cool gear.

Parts for my Cardioid Condenser shell are on their way! heh

I'll throw one or two in the hat.
"Firecrackers" or "12g ThunderCrackers"

Do you you plan on having the bodies fabricated? I'm interested in picking up a pair.

Got my pair today, cant wait to try them out!

They sound great. Think I'll get a pair, just wondering if I'm going to have problems with the custom :P
