Topic: How to "wear" preamp + recorder?

[SpokenMagicSpells]

Hi!

Now my setup is complete :-)

CA-11
ST-9100
EDIROL R-09HR

ST-9100 just arrived 2 days ago and next month will be the first time I'll record a show using it.

I would like to know how do you use the preamp. I don't mean settings about gain, db and unity levels (there is a lot of threads about this). What I mean is how do you use the preamp together with the recorder. Where do you put it in your clothes, how do you manage the cables etc.

If this is a s.T.e.A.l.T.h question, please, reply via PM.

Thanks in advance for your support.
Regards.

i don't feel this needs a pm because there are venues that don't allow bags in and or the gear is small so some people just use their pockets
anyway
you can carry your gear anywhere thats easy for you
i have used bags, hoodie pocket, cargo pants
cargos are my fav when i am not using a bag

Hi! Thanks for answer.

What about the wires? How do you pass them through the clothes? Do you make holes in your clothes? :-)

I do.

I sometimes take electrical tape and wrap a turn around my smaller battery box (spsb3) and then put a safety pin thru it and then I can safety pin it INSIDE my jacket or sweatshirt, then the mic connection to the box and the box itself are hidden away to prevent them accidentally getting disconnected due to crowd movements. In real crowded venues this works good, and the mic cords are largely away from getting snagged by passerbys, too.

When it's all said and done, nothing should be visable and your concert neighbors shouldn't have any idea what is going on.

I have a sweet pair of pants with a hole in each pocket right baout where your thumbs would go. Works like a charm.

Mine's a little simpler.  I keep preamp/bb in my back pocket, wear a long enough shirt, and run the wires to the deck in my front pocket. Haven't had a problem yet...

I wear a man bag. I couldn't chance anything in a pocket unless it was on "hold."

I have a pair of khaki's that are part of the ultra-chic, very expensive "George" line from Wal-Mart...cost about $15...that have holes sewn into the inside-top of the front pockets. Perfect for creative cable routing...

Rule #1 turn off your cell phone.  If you don't, you are apt get that diginoise.  Learned that one the hard way.
Rule #2 I put my ST9100 and R09 in different pockets, because if they are too close together there is some resulting noise.  Learned that one the hard way.
