Good Value Goose Necks

[pete10uk]

I have a job coming up where I need 6 Goose Neck mic's for a presentation panel. Basically a long Q&A session at the end of a conference with 6 people sat at a top table.

 

I have 6 XLR table bases but the mic's I used to use in them have slowly either died or have gone on other projects, so I'm after a new set of matching mic's.

 

Do you have any favourite mic's for this application? I have asked for good value recommendations, I'm not expecting 6 for £10 but equally I've not got £200 a mic. In an ideal world I would be looking at around £50 - £60 per mic, but if theres anything really good value @ £20 each or a real advantage to £80 each then I'd look at either.

 

Cheers

Try the AKG D542 - they are fairly cheap but unterminated. I think you can pick them up for around £30?

Thanks for the reply,

 

I'm specifically looking for something to plug directly in to a mic base.

I used to have a JTS GM-5212 that seemed fine for the money http://cpc.farnell.com/MP33740

Whether this thomann item http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tbone_gm_5212.htm is exactly the same, I don't know, but they are several £ less

May be worth checking what you can get the Audio Technica Pro49Q or Pro49Q L for.... usually about £100 street price, but they are a well behaved mic and a more "known quantity" than some of the third party items around?

+1 for the JTS goosenecks from CPC, also the Pulse offerings from them, and Thomann's own ones are all good for that sort of thing. Whichever you can get cheapest, I'd go for!
