In many instances, hyper-cardiod ís not the best choice.

You're really showing your ignorance, Iain. A 4038 is not a hyper
cardiod.

You described it as being "extremely dead on the sides".
It's a ribbon so that could also mean it's bi-directional.

That's basically what a ribbon is. Bi-directional. Some are modified in an
attempt to alter this - but they're generally specialist mics and of no
real concern here.

You seem to be working very hard to do a "sell" on the
Coles. Do you have half a dozen of them in a shoe box
from Camden market that you can't get rid of:-)

Coles? No. perhaps you're unaware that Coles bought the manufacturing
rights from STC.

They bught mnore than the rights, they bought the parts
inventory, design and tooling, lock stock and barrel
when STC found due to decreasing demand that
peroduction by a company of their size was no
longer viable. It's a good thing that the Coles
partnership did buy it, or the whole lot would
have gone to landfill.

I have just sent them an e-mail and asked for
a catalogue and price list, just out of interest.

If I could borrow one, I would be interested to try
it on cello. Do you have any experience/comments?


And their production numbers would be tiny compared to
STC. I prefer having an original rather than some copy.

Your choice. Have you taken the trouble to compare the
old and new? Your findings would be of interest.

Keep it as your ace up the sleeve, Dave.
I prefer the Telefunken u47:-)

An excellent mic too. But not so versatile as the 3038. Care to guess why?

There is no such microphone as the 3038.

Now if the boot had been on the other foot here, and
I had made such an error, instead recognising it as
the typo it almost certainly is, you would have probably
thrown in a few "liars" and "he's contradicting himself
again" or "he doesn't know what he's talking about".

Or perhapd you would have said "I doubt if he owns
such a mic at all, but has just drooled over them at
some time or other" Pretty sad, Dave.

But if you mean the 4038, well, its versatility cannot have
anything to do with its unobtrusive colour or shape, or its
ease of fitting to a music stand, now can it?

OK I give up.

I am sure you will tell me:-)
