I think the CR-577 is still an outstanding mic. The one I have recently had a cable failure that I have to fix, but it has been one excellent mic in that mean time - IMO . . .

New Palomar Ceramic Microphone

- Start date
I lost my CR-577 somewhere and now im kicking myself in the butt. I never found it assumed that would be a mic you would be able to buy forever!
I once hooked it to my rack gear an was really surprised on how nice it sounded!
In which video? in the first one with the 6 different mics, I had the echo too high, in the second one it was dead on.
That is the RF Limited 2018 extreme mic. They sound good with or without any echo!! Just have to set them up the right way!!
I like my 2018 with just a touch of doubletalk, I'll make a video of mine sometime soon. I need to buy a new one as the one I have is several years old. The new 2018s are getting expensive. Probably 15 buck more then I paid a few years ago.

I guess I didn't explain why...the switch is screwy on this thing and I have had it fixed once, it still works,but I have to press the switch just right for it to key. I'll keep the old one for a backup. I have dropped and banged this mic for years now, I'm kinda surprised it still works. I took the dials for the echo controls off when I got it sound the way I like it.

In the second video you said the bass roll off was not being used, was it used in the first video (the 6 mic one)?
The Palomar does seem pretty comparable to the RK56 in that video, for those looking for an alternative now that the Turners ain't what they used to be this may be it.
Yep. You are right StrangeBrew. And as far as desk mics, the one Grogan has the thread going about, might actually be a decent mic. Time will tell. Someone will have one here soon I'm sure and a vid will be made. Thx to the poster for the comparisons. Helps other pick a mic.
I'll say this, if they are as rugged as they look, they may well be a good replacement mic for mobile use!!

Yes, in the first video the roll-off is in, and it's out in the second.
The 2018 settings were delay 3/volume 2 in the first video. going from 2 to 1.5 makes a pretty big difference considering how little you move the dial. Rather than removing the dials, I cut a mark into them at the sweet spots, that way I can keep the settings and still kill the echo when I go to SSB.
