Some Favorite Sound Catchers!!!  

Not the LARGEST Overflowing Microphone Locker, but all the microphones at Bop Stop are of Top Quality, are utilized regularly, and impart specific character or transparency.  

Tube/Valve Mics


​

​Wunder Audio Custom Neumann CMV3 Replica

This is a one of a kind, flagship Wunder Audio handmade microphone. A stunning replica of the CMV3, Neumann's first mass produced condenser microphone. All hardwired, no printed boards, with two Telefunken EF14 tubes and M7 Capsule.  The predecessor to the U47, sadly the vintage examples CMV3 mics although amazing, are degraded and low output.  

Wunder Audio crafted this mic to bring the Bottle Microphone sound back but with modern noise and output specs.  The result is a sensitive, big, and saturated sound. 
Wunder Audio CM7 GT Superma M7
Neumann U47 Type
After the CMV3, Neumann's first condenser microphone.

​Wunder Audio U47 type microphone that is just beauty and it delivers a big dimensional sound with that big bottom end when in cardioid mode.While the U47 is well known for being a great vehicle for male vocals, it imparts an incredible richness to many female voices as well.  
This microphone imparts that warm vintage tube mic character on any source. 
A demonstration featuring James Clark on Vocals comparing some of our microphones. While each microphone has a definitive character and sound, we certainly feel that all of them yielded excellent quality vocal tracks.   
Bock Audio Custom E250 Tube Condenser
A one of a kind Bock E250, a slightly smoothed out version of the BOCK E251. This mic was custom built by David Bock w/ a K67 capsule and Multi-pattern selection on Power Supply, but with same E250 body,  circuit, and NOS EF732 tube, etc....   
An excellent match to just about any vocal.  Particularly sweet on female vox, piano, acoustic guitar etc....

Ribbon Mics

Samar Audio MF-65 Ribbon Pair
These are the Most Exquisite Ribbon Microphones currently available.  Handmade w/ CNC precision parts + truly amazing tolerances! Blumlein stereo shock mount.  Everything sounds excellent with these, hence they were the winner of the $60,000 Ribbon Mic Shootout!
Pair of Beyerdynamic MC-834 Condenser Microphones
These two MC-834 are in the Large Diaphragm Condenser category, but more medium to small Capsules.  These Cardioids have a flat natural response.  Excellent for Strings, Brass, Drum OH etc...

AEA R44CE - RCA 44BX Replica 
Like the original RCA 44BX, this AEA imparts a BIG, Warm, Spacious Classic Ribbon sound that has been used for just about all the vocal classics, Sinatra, Ella, list too long to show. I have owned numerous original RCA 44s but after testing the AEA replicas, it became an immediate no brained due to reliability  noise, and exacting sound match.  An Incredible Brass and Drum Mic!
Samar Audio Al-39 Ribbon Matched Pair
Another Amazing set of Samar Audio mics. We have had them all, from Royer to Coles to AEA and for our ears Samar mics are just the tops!! 

En Route -A Stereo Pair of Sennheiser MKH 8020 Omni Microphones:)

Pair of Sennheiser MKH 40 Cardioid Condensers
Just sensitive, flat response, and amazingly quiet microphones!  Wonderful for Piano, Drum OH, Guitars, Strings etc....
Pair of DPA Danish Pro Audio Cardioid 4022 Compact Microphones
DPA makes some of the finest Classical and acoustic audio microphones.  They are amazingly flat in their response, highly sensitive, and revealing.  I use them often on drum OHs but just excellent for anything acoustic, from piano to guitars to percussion.

Applied Microphone Technology (AMT) S25B Mic for Acoustic Bass

A really nice Acoustic Bass condenser mic that is great on stage and in the studio. For sure the stealthy, lightweight design adds to its function along with its excellent sound.
