[gizmo879D]

[TheYoungwhite100]

[MrLennon231]

@TheYoungwhite100 Not really.....

[TheKiki1292]

i just got the genesis and its great!

[ReidMcCoy]

I Will Rob Them!!!! Lol Just Kidding

[AllAboutTonight]

i didnt see a million dollars worth of mics... just saying.. lol

[MightySaturn5]

great video

[FrenetikBeatz]

Noymenn? you mean Neumann?

[Parkinson9999]

A quote from "The Little Prince" by Saint-Exupery would fit greatly here:

"Grown-ups like numbers. [...] If you tell grown-ups, "I saw a beautiful red brick house, with geraniums at the windows and doves on the roof...," they won't be able to imagine such a house. You have to tell them, "I saw a house worth a hundred thousand francs." Then they exclaim, "What a pretty house!""

[thehornypuppy]

@Parkinson9999 More like grown ups...simple minded people. Awful video...

[dhyphenBils]

high tech security lol

[Johnfrooshlover]

haha if that you replaced that room completely with Telefunken ELA M's (which is an 11,000 dollar mic) you still wouldn't have 1,000,000. They are just using it as a saying. Like "the million dollar question." Everyone shouldn't be suprised...

[Phunker1]

I guess disappointed is the word..

[TELEFUNKEN251]

No TELEFUNKENS...!?? Guess these guys don't know what a real mics sound like? Million dollar mic vault without any real mics in it!! What a shame!

U47, C12, Ela M251 those are real mics....

Too bad they pic favorites and let political issues get in the way of having real mics in the vault...

[BethanyandKarl]

So if you're interviewing a guy about a closet full of great mics how can you have such poor audio???? Snap that transmitter on the bottom of the BLUE Bottle and then do the interview.

[DeviousPsy]

i'd steal the woodpecker xD

chame they didnt have the Blue Joe mic xDlooooooks amaziiing!

[CustodioRichmond]

wtf that crap doesnt add up to a million. baby bottle is only like 400 neumam87 3500 shure 57 100 blue bottle like 1000 cmon now

[jalmonte1024]

@CustodioRichmond funny that you say that, seeing how you only mentioned the mics he talks about and didn't take into account the rest of the microphones on the walls and in the drawers that you see.

[CustodioRichmond]

@jalmonte1024 lol dude do u really think all those r 1million? no just look at them mics cmon now so wat am i suppose to say every single mics name and price? hell no thats ridculous its a lot of mics but not 1 mil

[demartijnstam]

So they're filming a mic-room without using proper mics themself. Weren't there any clip-ons available they could use?

[matslaughtermusic]

@demartijnstam yeah you are right. they are using pretty bad mics themselves.

[leshawn1977]

ok that does'nt add up tp 1,000,000,00 neuman 87 3,500 shure 57 100 bucks weres the AKG C14 OR THE AKG C v12 thats 4 grand lol

[trulynot]

What a great sales tool. Great name too.

[illthug98]

where the hells the c01u mic??

[HakerzTM]

I Ordered From Sweetwater Before, They Are Nice Cuz They Give You Candy In The Box

[BelaliandSevdali]

very nice

[LACROSSECXL]

LOOK FOR A OKTAVA MK-219. YOU CAN HAVE IT MODIFIED WITH NEUMANN U87 INNER OWRKINGS FOR CHEAP. i HAVE ONE AND PEOPLE (PROS) SWEAR THAT I HAVE A 87 IN MY BOOTH!

[RainKingRecording]

No way that's a million dollars worth of mics. Unless they have a cabinet full of C24's and 251's that's a pretty middle of the road mic selection. Where's the Soundelux Wunder and Korby stuff?

[CDZONE6]

the blue bottle is $6000 by itself, add a u87, that's $3500. No telling how much everything else that they didn't show costs

[iggysweetrains]

I actually didn't see the $1,000,000.00 worth of microphones in that room, was it just a figure of speech?

[SOUTHBOUNDTRAPBOYZ]

the neumann is very very very expensive thats what kind of mic some of us broke people wish to have lol it doesnt matter you can get a microphone to sound like it its just you want that mic for fast recording lol i love music its my life!!!!!

[georgeworthmore]

nothing wrong with SM 57s at all. some major producers love them in the studio and travel with "magic" ones. the sound of rock and roll.

[Isaiahmyers1]

wow i thought my samson co1u was good

[videosouthafrica]

the PG mic is the best .... its in Rebecca's hands ... awsome quality

[MrJackanthony]

@videosouthafrica Lol and here I was thinking that that mic must be feeling self conscious 

[kizmart]

@videosouthafrica Looks like an Audix OM5 donnit?

[BANGERS68]

they didnt show ya shit.

[andrewenson]

how is that a million dollar mic collection :/

not even close

[enacra101]

@andrewenson Im pretty sure its just a name not literal.

or maybe they have historical mics that have sentimental value?

[andrewenson]

@enacra101 i doubt it. the harrison used to mix thriller is going for half a million dollars right now. which is way more than its worth. even though i'm a fan of mj haha. and even if every single mic in that room was vintage it wouldnt be a million bucks. maybe if they had a room full of pristine fairchilds it could get close. actually still not really haha.

[soundscapemusic1]

sales engineers what is that? wow lmao sorry !!!!!!!!!

[soundscapemusic1]

no the combined is not even close to 1 million maybe 50k yes

[jar0me]

haha i got a blue bird mike!!! and a tele funken

[enacra101]

@jar0me I hate you -.-

lol jp, I really wish I had a blue bird mic, lucky haha

[andrewenson]

@enacra101 lol bluebirds arent great. the new telefunkens are great if you get any mic above the m16. m16 and below that price range are all terrible :/ might as well mod a 460

[enacra101]

@andrewenson true true, was just saying its probably just a nickname for the room not the actual value of the mics but just imagine really having a million dollar mic locker.only god know why you would need it and blue birds are to nice lol when your an 18 year old college student on a 9 to 5 budget haha

Ive actually never used any high end mics so they all just seem so cool to me best I have is a sm57 (yeah.. lol =/ ) but i hope ill be able to afford all that kind of equipment in the future

[andrewenson]

@enacra101 i'm 19 years old running an HD2 rig :D i have a kiwi, custom stereo pair mics, wunder cm7gt w/ m7 capsule, wunder cm12, and a bunch of lower end mics :D two porticos, one adl 600, and a bunch of api outboards :) all using 2 aurora 16's since i'm mixing itb right now. audio land is my life.

[enacra101]

@andrewenson niiiccce, its always cool to meet another person that shares the passion for audio engineering. hopefully ill be able to get stuff like that soon =D

[Lydia637]

What xacly was this supposed to be for? It shows car salesman dude talking to camera operator's g'friend bout some mics, jokey-jokey. Why not let the terminally-bored video chick speak into various mics so that WE, the customers can HEAR them. Otherwise this is just a demonstration of how much money S'water can spend on a vanity closet. It's so cool the 57 is funky looking, too bad we can't hear it!

[LanceAllenAcoustic]

You gurs are stupid as shit its not that one mic is a million dollars its saying the combined amount equals up to 1 mil

[dontbelievethahype]

The guys name is 'Chet'.... I knew he was going to be a d-bag before they even showed him! I like how he's starts feeling cool and comfortable at the end and turns on the calm&creepy voice. Nice. Oh, and a million dollars, my ass!

[gonzomuse]

They have $1mil worth of mics yet still make the guitar at the front sound awful? Hehe, just kidding.

Very impressed with the interviewer keeping her obvious pure loathing for the job out of her eyes for 80% of the article.

[daftweebrush]

Million dollars? I don't think so!

[XxlostsanityxX]

U47 C12 Elam 251

[111ryryalex111]

about the mxl 990 ?.
