Hi all -
I'm looking into purchasing a pair of DPA 4021's to add to my DPA collection. 90% stealth, 10% stand work. I figure the side exit might make this easier? Am I wrong?
Can anyone point me to a suggested purchase place? I see B&H has them individually for $1765, or the 3521 kit for $3899. The kit would ensure a matched stereo pair. Are you allowed to bargain/haggle prices for these? I guess I could also wait and see if a pair ever turns up in the Yard Sale section. No immediate rush to purchase these.
Also, the mics are expensive and it seems crazy to mod them, but, do people trim the length of wires, or put smaller XLR plugs at the end? I'm looking into connecting up to a Marantz PMD661. Also, will the -18dB setting on the PMD661 handle the signal from the mics? I find I have to attenuate more to avoid overload on this deck - AKG451's and HEB's.
Thanks,
Bill
