Time to get a power inverter and a car battery to lug to shows.

Time for me to get serious about the Schoeps DMS system: three mics, period.  Free decoder plug-in.  No vertical axis, but if you are not planning on a four channel with a speaker overhead, no problemo.     SF does still fascinate, though.

The processor/decoder is bundled with the SPS200 (so I guess it's sorta "free"...). For other SoundField mics, there are free processors and decoders for both PCs and Macs.

As for the vertical axis, it's not necessarily for a overhead speaker: it can be useful if you want to virtually tilt the SoundField when decoded to stereo or surround. The DMS can't do this.

Very impressed with its sound. I DL the WSP 11-28 show from NC. Fantastic show ! 
Great clarity with this fob recording, not as much bass present as I would like, but then again I had my Velodyne turned off. I want to listen again with the sub 'on' and see if the bass results increase. The post production is a little confusing tho ......
What is the cost of this mic ....... I'll try and read back in the thread some say 3500 another says expect to pay 2500, I'll read it again.
Thanks for the post JTL - your Widespread pull sounds great !!

The SPS200 SurroundZone plug-in is now iLok-free (so, basically, free) and features B-Format output.

Thanks mine(the short body) is on the way.
I do not know if any one has said it but does any one monitor and playback in B-format on the Sounddevices 788T? Is the playback realistic?

I don't know about the 788, but with the 744 it just lets you play the B Format file as a stereo file.  It's not realistic in the sense once you get back and decode using the szone plugin, you get an entirely different sound, based on pattern, width, etc.
