The Bunker Studio

a couple of nice mics on double bass—.berlin M49v and vintage RCA 44BX

one of our all-time favorite small diaphragm condensers—the .berlin
It’s been a while since we’ve beaten the drum about this treasure—we’d love to see it reissued, but acknowledge that it may not be quite well-known enough among the wider market to generate enough demand
But those who really know and have used these mics will understand our enthusiasm for them—they just sound fantastic on almost anything (so much that when Berry Gordy decided to standardize Hitsville around one mic model in 1968, this is the mic they chose—for everything from kick drum to Marvin Gaye’s vocal)
