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 CM7 GTS M7
Neumann U47 Type
​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. 

​Manley Laboratories Gold Reference
​This stunning microphone has been used on many Hit Records!  While it's 24k Gold body is impressive, its ability to capture incredible detail and add a little fairy dust to a vocal is evident the moment you hear yourself through it.  From vocals to strings, to acoustic guitars, this Manley Gold is an Class microphone!
Bock Audio Custom E250 Tube Condenser
A one of a kind Bock E250, a smoothed out version of the BOCK ELAM251. This mic was custom built by David Bock with the E250 chassis/body,  circuit, and NOS EF732 tube, etc...but w/ a K67 capsule and Continuously Variable Multi-pattern selection on Power Supply.   
An excellent match to just about any vocal.  Particularly sweet on female vox, piano, acoustic guitar etc....
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.   

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!
Samar Audio Al-95 Ribbon Pair
The newly released AL-95 mics from Samar Audio bring a piston corrugated style ribbon element to Samar's already incredible ribbon design and performance.  Looking forward using these mics on everything!
Wunder Audio CM7 FET Microphone
The Solid State FET version of the Wunder Cm7.  This mic is incredible when you want that U47 type of round tone, but with less tubes air and a more upfront sound.  Fantastic Hip Hop, Pop and of course kick mic and many other duties. 
Pair of Sony ECM-100U Cardioid High Resolution Mics
These microphones are the first series of professional mics that Sony has developed in many years.  Developed with extended frequency response and deemed high resolution.  Whatever the technology, they sound excellent for sure!
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!! 

A Stereo Pair of Mesanovic SC1 Omni and Cardioid Microphones

A Stereo Pair of Rode NT5 Cardioid 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
