Why is this not a good idea. wcgr
Elguapo511:
I have a tascam dr-2d and i just cam across a pair of electro voice 655c (http://www.coutant.org/655c/1643.jpg)
So... I used a xlr > stereo 1/8 inch plug to just run these mics right into the dr-2d mic in and it works fine.
my plan is to somewhat stealth these in a loud club.
I assume I am going to run out of battery pretty fast.... but other than that, where am I going to suffer?
Poor pre amp of the tascam? they aren't too bad. will the mics overload?
Seems like u should buy a preamp to go between, but I'm wondering why this slim and trim rig is a bad idea.
thanks all.
Fatah Ruark (aka MIKE B):
Those look awfully large for stealthing, but if you can get away with it more power to you.
I don't know anything about them so can't help with battery life or the sound.
The pre-amp in your recorder is fine. No need for another. I'd spend money on better mics to start out.
EmRR:
655C's can compete, you'd be surprised. No phantom to pull battery down, nice. Indeed, they are big.
Elguapo511:
I guess stealth is the wrong word... yes they are huge, I guess just low profile for transportation, and ability to drink a lot while taping.
They are Omni dynamics and pick up everything so I need to get pretty close, so small clubs are where it’s at.
Also tryouts by not to get in anyone’s way, band or staff or patrons .

DR2d runs about 5-6 hours on a pair of rechargeable NiMH AA's (recording 4 channels without providing mic power). If I recall correctly, disposable lithium AAs will run it for about twice that, but double check before you rely on that figure.
