you mean "omnidirectional" mics

what kind of omni directional mics would one use on this and how would you attach the nerf to the stand and the mics to the nerf?  

[CaptMax]

Was it a black and yellow football with a Peyton Manning signature on it?

not sure. i recall yellow. i have seen two of these rigs, one in seattle at dave matthews at victor steinbrueck park, and one in pullman at WSU at howie day.

i was commenting on the fact that there are no such things as "binaural" mics, as binaural is a technique using omni mics...
and anyone who uses a gatdamn nerf football as a head baffle is a pussy! nerf probably isn't dense enough anyway. i use my own noggin - nothin gets more real than that!

pair of C1000s for 299, is this good?

[chuckcage]

Just have to chime in here...  I love my C1000s.  I sort of defaulted into them since I already owned a pair which I was using as drum overheads in my PA rig.

There are a number of reasons C1000s make great starter mics:

1. They're nearly indestructable and are built like tanks -- which means you can get them from pretty much anywhere.  Many other inexpensive mics (like the Oktavas) have very poor build quality and quality control, which means you have to get them from a supplier who picks through the trash to get you something decent.  They charge for this.

2. They come with hypercardoid adapters -- which means you get two patterns to play with from the start.

3. The capsules are internally shockmounted -- which means you save $100+ on shockmounts.

4. They take 9v batteries internally -- which means you save $50-$100+ on a battery-powered phantom power supply, and...

5. Everyone knows about #1 above, so you can probably use them for a year or two then sell them for darn near what you paid for them when you're ready to upgrade.

That said, there are lots of people who hate C1000s and love other things, and you might be one of them.

If you're interested, I'd be willing to B&P my Galactic 10/30/2003 (Austin, TX) which I recorded with my C1000s > PB224 > AD-20 > NJB3 so you can get a listen.

This is pretty normal for a new pair.

thanks for the recommendation. +T for helpin' the newbie.

(not quote sure what this whole T thing is quite yet, but everyone else is doing it )

See the [gdtstoo] [ptbm] under usernames?  Those are tickets.  +T on the left, - on the right.   Kinda like Karma.  You like somebody or something they said hit gdstoo and give them a ticket.

You have to have 50 posts before you are able to give and take tix.  As for the c1000's.  Great starter mic as mentioned above.  Bass responce lacks but usefullness and a low price make up for that.  My friend has taped a ton of shows with those.  If your in a good room in a good spot you get good tapes
