Every so often I'm asked to go low profile, even with an ensemble that I've openly recorded 15 years. Those times are typically when they are hosted by some other production company, and not their own concert productions. So, quite a few years back, I developed this rig, which is in a small ballistic nylon bag. zThe bag was originally sold as a light "lunch box".
When I first used it, I was running a SD 722, which fit the bag nicely. I'd use the timer of the 722, to turn on the deck automatically.
Now, I have the DR70D, which sort of floats around inside the bag, but, this is not an issue.
There is a triangular wire frame inside the netted portion of the bag. It holds the caps at 205mm, at 90ยบ, or nearly a perfect DIN-stereo spread.
I left the black obscuring lace out for the pictures, and forgot to take another pic with it all set up. The lace totally obscures the DIN rig.
WIth the DR70D, and this bag, and my DPA4060 HRTF rig, I can run four channels from my lap. In the times when I've needed to go this route, I've been in the hall well over an hour before the doors open, and I manage a good first row seat. It is generally a clear view for the rig.
I tried this set up with my new CM3 pair, and this is the result:...
