LD Systems D1001 Dynamic Vocal Microphone.
The planet is drowning in sub £50 microphones, so how do you know which to pick? At The Noizeworks, the microphone 'anoraks' in our busy hire department have probably tested most of the budget microphones available in the UK. Whilst most of them sound reasonable, many are let down by low build quality, and probably wouldn't last too long on the road.
One range of budget mics, however has stood out against the competition in this department and that's LD Systems range of dynamic vocal and instrument mics.
As well as sounding as good, if not better than microphones costing many times as much, they are also built to last, with heavy duty die cast blue/grey chassis and heavy guage mesh grilles.
The D1001 is a vocal or instrument dynamic vocal microphone. This mic has the 'vocal friendly' spherical style grille (see the D1002 for the 'instrument friendly' flat grille for close miking of guitar amps, etc.)
It has a super-cardioid polar pattern offering excellent off-axis rejection resulting in maximum 'gain before feedback'. The suspended shockproof capsule offers minimal handling noise and further enhances durability.
The mic is supplied in an ABS case with thick foam lining and a nice quality rubberised mic clip with a 5/8" to 3/8" thread adaptor for use on virtually any mic stand.

Applications:
Suitable for many live sound applications, including lead and backing vocals, snare drums, tom toms and percussion overheads (congas, bongos, etc). Fine for close miking of guitar amps, although we would probably slightly favour the D1002. (It's has the same capsule but a flat grille).
Probably not so good for miking acoustic instruments such as classical guitars, etc, where a good quality discreet condenser mic would work better. Better mics are also available for bass instruments such as kick drums, etc, including LD systems own large diaphragm D1007.
Should you require any further advice on microphones and miking, then why not give one of our tame microphone anoraks a call on 01708 523812!
