Quick question: If I run my stock, full-bodied 480's from the back of a so-so theater, under a balcony (and by that I mean an echo chamber/ bass trap), in the furthest point either left or right vs. low-pro/stealth front and center, which would be the better tape?

Seriously. Which tape would you listen to?

Just sayin'...

Quote from: leehookem on January 14, 2013, 10:13:46 AM
Low pro

Any arguments to the contrary thus far concerning getting the mics in the "right spot" using, the supposedly inferior, home-brewed actives VS. running full-bodied mics and hanging back in the OTS?

I applaud followinbob and all the others involved.

Home brewed actives are not inferior.  The sound under a balcony is inferior.

Just watch out for the edge area, where the pee rains down.

Cables came in yesterday.  Blown away.  They sound fantastic and the fit and finish is top notch.  Money well spent.

There doesn't seem to be an absolute price posted for the NBob cables/collettes, but I'm pretty sure you're looking at ~$450 US.  Base price for a tinybox is $239.  You could, however, get PFAs instead of the tinybox.  Unterminated they would run you $50 a pair I believe.

I think it depends what config of PFA (balanced or unbalanced).  Also of course, if you go the PFA route, you have to already own another preamp or have a deck that provides P48...
