After actually visiting the premises, I escaped having merely purchased a new microphone. It&#8217;s a MXL 2001 condenser, requiring 48v phantom power but that&#8217;s ok, I have that on the Mackie 1604 mixer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initial tests are good. It&#8217;s very sensitive, in fact it picks up the drone of the fan in the computer. *sigh*. Hopefully I can use it for vocals and percussion and stuff, without resorting to isolation boxes or sound-proofed closets.
