Topic: Peluso CEMC6?

[ac]

I wish I had the money to get Nick's set. Got to give you props for the phat deal.

AudioLot is currently selling these mics.  The guy was not aware of the issue at all.  I wonder if they have the fixed version?  I am ready to order a pair of these mics.

[Nick's Picks]

the "problem" was only a small batch of mics.. not all of them

[doliam]

ok.  so I should be fine ordering from audiolot.  The guy at sound pure made it sound like they revamped the design of the whole mic or something.  thanks!

[Nick's Picks]

maybe they did...

[doliam]

I emailed Peluso and got an email back saying they started shipping the newer version of the microphone about 4 weeks ago.  They had a problem with a part and found a new vendor.

I got my pair in the mail, ordered from Audiolot.  I'll be using them tomorrow with my Motu Traveller to run a matrix for Perpetual Groove at Rythem and Brews in Chatanooga.  The venue isn't great, but i'll get to use them again at the Exit/In in Nashville the next night.

nice.
get the card caps?
they sound fucking great...especialy XY, IMO

[heath]

nick--curious to hear your thoughts on the other caps as well.  did you already do a write up somewhere?  if not, can tell me in particular waht you thought of the hypers? 

thanks

[Nick's Picks]

the hypers were fair.  i pulled a good recording, and a couple of "eh" ones.
they have good rejection, but the sound is not as fat and warm as the cards/subs.

the sub card fucking rocks.  thats the one I liked.

[doliam]

yeah, i just bought the cards for now.  I'm definitely planning on picking up at least the omni caps at some point.  I'm going to run X/Y tonight, it's a wide and short room so I will be pretty close to the speakers.  25-30 feet(tops) i think, but i haven't been to that place in over a year.  I'll be interested to hear how they sound running thru a motu pre-amp, i haven't listened to any samples of that combination.

[heath]

how do yu like the traveler?  i looked at that for mobile multitracking...

just checked your email as well...you went to the same school as my old man...RPI.   

[doliam]

I like the traveller, it's very versitale (sp?).  i mostly use it for matrix recordings, but have done a surround recording on it.  I ran all 6 channels from the 5.1 mix along with a stereo board feed and my mics.

I had some problems with the CEMC6's.  I set all my stuff up, then left for a while and came back to the venue in the middle of the opening band.  All my levels had been set during soundcheck and all that.  I never monitored the mics for some reason, just listened to the board feed mix thru my headphones at various points.  At any rate, the mics sound like they are clipping, but I didn't see much clipping going on during the show.  The wav form looks weird, the top half of each channel is very flat and the bottom half of each channel looks fine.  Any ideas?  I can post a clip if needed. 

[stirinthesauce]

Oh, that sucks!  Sorry to hear about that.  Don't have any suggestions to give you but if you figure it out, please post.  I really want to get a pair of these mics.

[doliam]

I can't figure out what happened with my mics.  I've talked to some people that think it may have been a motu or software problem.  I'm attaching a picture of the wavforms from CuBase, the mics track has almost none of the positive wavforms.  it's weird, not sure what happened.  any help would be appreciated.
