Topic: What is the new hotness for stealth/small profile taping?

all of the options above have the microphone bodies in the gear chain, while the options below do not:

Schoeps CCM series
DPA 4021/4022/4023/etc
Schoeps mk caps > nbox
Schoeps mk caps > vms02ib
Schoeps mk caps > CMR

Add Schoeps MK caps > Sonosax SX-M2/LS2 (aka Lemosax) to the list.  And I vaguely recall the /LS2 will work with Neumann AK caps, too, but it's only a vague notion, and I don't know of anyone having used that setup.

Yes, add:

Neumann akxx capsules > Neumann LC3 cable >  Sonosax SX-M2/LS2

I thought that actually the Beyer ck930 was a self-contained small mic a la the DPA 402x and Schoeps CCM - i.e., there is just a small body and there is no detachable cap.  Am I wrong about that?  I'm just basing it on this picture... http://www.frontendaudio.com/Beyerdynamic_CK_930_Microphone_Set_p/9999-00536.htm

the picture there doesn't show the mic body.  it's a "typical" size for a mic body, maybe 4 inches long.  this is a picture from the beyerdynamic website (actually of the CK950, hypercardioid mic+remote cable+body instead of the CK930 cardioid, but the two mics are the same size and have the same mic body).

Ahh, got it.  That does make sense.
