HERE WE GO AGAIN (gear group buys)
« on: March 03, 2007, 05:21:47 PM »

Many of you might remember a group buy here a while back. Well after meeting with  the "minister of doing business in China" ? I have discovered that my group buy was actually from a trader, not the manufacturer! After I made this discovery, I confronted the company I did the last group by from at the NAMM show, and they treated me very badly. The China government has opened the sale of merch direct to a dealer and thus eliminating the midle man/trader I have several mics that with my limited knowledge, have come up with. on the power supplies for example, instead of the 9 position polar switch, I replaced with a variable pot with a meter so you can see the voltage change to the capsule. this one is a 20mm tube mic where I opened up below the capsule.
I make no claims that these are amazing mics, just Another Cheap Mic. They will even be labeled as such  This the ACM-310 tube
I have discovered situations where a C-12 or the like just doesn't cut it and get blown away when a $50.00 cheap ribbon makes it all happen. I've got pictures of most of these mics on my site. I believe that nothing will cost more than a note in the key of C (ACM) LOLindex.php/fa/4426/0/

Yeah the second one fell thru. The first one, we got around 100 mics no problem. Then the brand name companies stopped the second one

If you find a place where you need a few extra ribbon mics, I bet I can talk kevin into trading all of his for that C12 that isn't working out.

Interested, though noncommital at this point. Would sending them across the border into Canada negate any savings that the group buy would give? Keep posting details as you get them.
