Topic: Busman BSC2 opinion needed

[acidjack]

thanks for the link to the rolled off recording. not sure if i'm going to run it that way. will decide tonight.

do i have to run the MBHO's with a tinybox? can i run them straight into my marantz PMD661? would i need the bodies then? i've looked at those mics, I'm not exactly sure which ones will work for me stealthing....there seem to many versions or combos... thanks.

MBP603A is what i think i want to run direct into my 661? that won't pose problem for gain or anything, i don't mind the bodies or the length. the capsule part seems pretty long and rigid, i might have a problem mounting that in a hat though?

what about 648A, seems like smaller footprint but fixed attachment, but mic looks easier to head mount. draws less power too, is it similar in sound (ie. same capsules). THANKS for any info.

I don't own MBHOs so you'd be better off talking to someone who does, but the answers on how to run them are:

You can go caps>tinybox without bodies
You can go caps>remote cables>bodies>661.  Costs more than just buying caps

The actual full bodied mic seems big for hat mounting, but you never know...  If you want something easier to stick in a hat that can go direct into your 661 there are also the Sennheiser MKH-8040/8040.  They do pick up a ton of low end, but they have a mid-HF emphasis as well.

if i run it thru tinybox, can you run into R9 via 1/8 in?  i hate to add a pre to the setup but the r9 is smaller and i have a tascam dr2 as well i could use. caps and collettes can be had where? tinybox is probably too far out to get one in time for fall tours i'm attending...

Yes, you can go MBHO>tinybox>R-09
