Mic and preamp test

[magno]

Hello to everyone.
So while I had some time to waste, or just some time, I did a test of all my crappy mics through my crappy preamps.
I don't really know how this would help anybody but me, anyways...
Basically here's the setup.
I took all 11 of my budget mics and put them through the 2 preamps I have.
Preamps for the first 11 are from my Behringer Euordesk SL3242fx-pro mixer and the second 11 are from my M-Audio Omni i/o breakout box.
Both were recorded to a Delta 66 with Cubase SX3.
The only time I adjusted gain or levels was when I recorded the condensers.
No eq, no nothing.
Here's a list of the mics
1 Brite Sound SE-606 uni-directional dynamic microphone
2 Hisonic HM-68 cardioid uni-directional low imp 600ohm dynamic microphone
3 Dixon MD1178 600ohm unidirectional dynamic microphone
4 Peavey PVi uni-directioonal cardioid microphone
5 Audio-Technica ATM41a unidirectional dynamic microphone made in Taiwan 1
6 Audio-Technica ATM41a unidirectional dynamic microphone made in Taiwan 2
7 Audio-Technica ATM41a unidirectional dynamic microphone made in Japan
8 Shure SM54 150ohm cardioid dynamic microphone
9 AKG D125 200ohm cardiiod dynamic microphone
10 Behringer C-2 small diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone 1
11 Behringer C-2 small diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone 2
12 Neumann TLM 103 large diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone

The first 11 are through the behringer the next through the Omni i/o.
I can't explain the hum/noise on the first two mics through the omni, maybe it doesn't like the cheapness of them. although they sounded "fine" on the behringer.
Hope I haven't wasted your time, and please excuse the pasties.
Oh yeah I got the idea from another website when I find the link I'll let you know. <edit> ,woops the site was here lol look below. </edit>

You have the most extremely articulate voice I have ever heard in my life!

Thanks for the post. You have a VERY interesting selection of mics. I've not used ANY of them.
