Microphone - Vocals Behringer : STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE C-1
 |
This
is an excellent microphone at a very reasonable price! See the Behringer site for more information. It does however need Phantom Powering but with the little mixer I use this is not a problem. |

Microphone -
Guitar
Model:
33-3013
The guitar microphone is a very cheap Radio Shack Omni-Directional Condenser Lapel Mic.
It has a moderately good frequency range of 60hz - 13,000hz.
From what I hear on Paltalk pushing sound to far into the High Frequency Range causes
problem with flutter and high frequency distortion.
The Omni-Directional pick up factor captures all the tones.

Mixer
- ALTO
AMX100
10 channel 2-bus mixing console 4 stereo input (balanced TRS) 2 mic input channels with XLRs
and balanced line inputs. Balanced TRS and control room and headphone outputs.
This is a very versatile mixer and offers great specifications for the price... about $80 US
ALTO also make the same unit with a built in Effects Unit for Reverb etc. if you don't wish
to go to the next level of a dedicated Rev Unit. I am impressed with the mixer but I have not
heard the Effects unit... can't be that bad... $60 more

Effects - Behringer
V-Amp 2
Virtual Guitar Amplifier with Tube Simulation and 24-Bit Effects.
The V-AMP2 has some very nice effects and is possibly Overkill for an Acoustic guitarist,
but I utilize to for three things/
It has 24-bit technology and is extremely clean. It has a very nice simulated Valve Pre-amp
for Microphones and it has a very sweet Reverb Unit as well as Chorus.
(and Much More for the hard-core guitarists)
I simply patch it into the Aux Send/Returns on the Mixer. This way I am using the drive from
the Mixer rather than making effects my last line of output before my Computer. It has a very
smooth compressor as well. $150 US
Compression on the output gives a very good balanced output from all all inputs, and keeps
your audio from peaking and overdriving.

Sound Card
I used a standard 24-Bit Sound card that came with my Computer which is a Pentium 4
26500mhz 512 ram.
I have ADSL connection 512 / 128
I run the system into my line input on the Soundcard, hoping to keep input distortion to a
minimum. Paltalk loves distortion and rapidly expands on any it gets from the Source.
I find running my mixer and effects light and clean and then getting my gain from the Master
Output gives me the best response.

So there you have it!
I hope sharing this info can be of assistance to anyone thinking of investing in their sound a
little.... It's not really an expensive set- up and I have heard a lot of players sound fantastic with
just one Mic and no effects.
