Topic: Gauge Microphones - gotta check this out!
I came across this through word of mouth. This company is fairly new. From what I understand they have a $150 mic (the ecm 87) and it's on par with much more expensive mic's. They have a comparison page which I found pretty persuasive.

The company is owned by this guy ROB CHIARELLI who I saw some interviews with. Big name producer/engineer.
Think I'm gonna pick up one of these mic's after hearing there comparison page. Any one of 'em. The damn $500 ecm-47 was comparable to the u-47 and u-67 so you know it's a winner. I've worked with those Neumann mic's extensively so I can tell you it is honestly very close to the real deal! Don't have the 500 bones to throw down, but so tempted to be stupid.
anyone else hear of this outfit yet?
