I agree.

Intended use is an important consideration.

If you'll be open taping, then the rig recommend by Goodcooker and Kindguy is 'better' for that use.  If you'll be mostly stealthing, then the smaller mics/pre is more appropriate.

Come on guys, let's not chase away a newbie asking for advice.  Let's give Zappapenn at least a little break.

Zappapenn: please be more grammatical, m'kay.

Yes, for stealthing go with the Church Cards and batt box.

+T for finding your way here.  The R-09 has only one mic in plug, but it is stereo, so you will end up with cables that will join the left and right, and then go into the 1/8" plug.   The R-09's A/D converter is pretty good from everyone's perspective, especially in a starter rig, so you really only need to be concentrating on the mics, and battery box or mini-preamp.  Chris Church's stuff is a good place to start looking.  Also check the Yard Sale section for used gear for sale.  Don't rush, even though you might want to, it is better to listen to some mics and pre mixes from etree or the archive, so that you can hear how they sound.  Your first investment in this hobby, will likely not be your last.  Once you get hooked, it is a non-stop process of moving up the ladder--piece by piece--until, someday, you have the dream rig you always wanted.  I am just about there.

to many periods

[h4nk3f4n]

I can vouch for the Church Audio Gear teamed up with and R-09.  Makes for a nice rig both open and stealth.

Have a listen.......  (oops too many periods?) 

BTW my entire rig, mics, preamp, r-09, stand, bag, home-made shock mount and kwon bar ran me right around $800.  So it can be done!

Well, if we're going yo start being the grammar police, I'm going to have at it!!!  Nothing like totally derailing a thread in order to avoid work!

Improper use of the word "to".  Should be, "too," in this instance.  But you are correct that there are too many periods in his sentence.

Grammar misspelled as "grammer"!       Nearly as bad as misspelling "misspelling"!!!  (Which, of course, I haven't, because in order to avoid even more work, I looked it up). 

Now, to rerail this thread, Church mics are a great option, or whatever.  Tons of options available to you (oops -  that's hyperbole).  A number of decent options available to you in this price range. 

Now how's THAT for work avoidance!!!  I've added absolutely no value to the thread!

More true words are rarely spoken.

Some serious thread-jacking going on here.  The poor guy was asking for rig advice, not an english lesson.  Maybe he needed a little help there, so perhaps he should joint Team Internet Grammar.

thanks to the people who gave me some advice................................to everyone else i'm glad i could amuse you.

Hey zappapenn, thanks for taking it the right way.  First thing you'll notice on this site is the loads and loads of great info.  Right after that you'll notice we take any chance we can to screw around and have fun!  Welcome to the board!

Just about there?  You've got 170's, a V3 and a 722.  How much further do you expect you need to go?
