I bet that would work for the Neumann KM100 line as well.  Never checked this mount out before.  Nice design.  Could be a good (and cheaper) alternative to the STH100.

Definitely cheaper than buying an STH100 new. On the other hand, the STH guarantees that the Neumanns are correctly spaced for ORTF where as the DPA mount only guarantees angle. On the other hand, it would be easy enough to adjust the capsules to the proper depth in the DPA mount and then just make a mark on the mount for use next time. I never really liked how tight the STH100 was...  :hmmm:

now if only they could get that left mic to fit properly into its own mount, we'd be set ! ;D

Saw that too but didn't want to say anything. ;)

Lynchie had those DPA mounts with the new rubber straps shown in the pic (as opposed to the simple O-rings on mine). They are IMPOSSIBLE to use. I gave up on getting my mics in there (we were going to run 4 in a mount) and ran my own on the same stand. What a PITA.

For info - Senneheiser will be showing the AES42 digital module at the AES in Amsterdam (Saturday to Tuesday) if anyone wants to see it in the flesh.  Not in the shops 'till late in the year, though.

The left mount should fit into the "groove" of the mic, but it's not.

Did you go through the guy I sent you?  Because he told me a couple of weeks ago that they had made it state side.  He's been up front with me so far so I don't have a reason not to trust him.

I was really hoping to have them for Sunday (Toad at the NorVA).  Now I just want them for the July 25th Counting Crows show.
