Just taped Toad the Wet Sprocket at the Norva - these mics continue to impress me every time I take them out.  It's an awesome tape.  I'll be putting it on the archive this evening.

Toad show from Sunday:
http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,105603.0.html

All I did was boost the levels in post.  No processing done on the file other than that.  While at first listen it may sound a bit bass heavy that is exactly how it sounded in the room.  I could feel the subs hit back at the soundboard.  Sometimes they over-do it at the Norva, but I'm pleased with how it turned out.

And now I have my cables but no way to mount them with a show on Thursday.  I'm hoping Robert Kwon gets back to me about the Kwonbar setup soon.

I can loan you a five inch kwon bar with a riser mount, but I need it back by this time next week for Rothbury, pm me if you want to borrow it, you can peep it in use in my rig pic post about my "new tiny rig"

That's not a Kwon bar. ;)  This is what a Kwon bar is:

I can't remember the name of that setup that you have.  But I would need clips for the mics to use something like what you have and I don't have them (because I should be getting a kwon bar setup soon).

do I understand from those pics Crumbo that Senn bodies are connected to one end of the extension cables in a female format and Senn connectors are also connected at the other end of the cables in a male format which then has a typical XLR connector so that interconnects of some type are required to plug into a preamp or all in one box?  it appears that there are equally long Senn brand connectors at each end of the extension cables in those pics

one end is the cap and one end is the body (i believe too, so yes you are right)
what i was going to say was the cable looks really thin but then seeing it by the schoeps its not really that thin i guess
did you guys get the "standard length" or did you special order a length?
