I thought that was street price. I was quoted 2750 from them earlier...and I was told today that they probably won't have them till after AES...or that was what they said.

I am looking forward to the first user reports.  I am also interested how much use they will get in the pro arena.  They sure are an interesting setup, and finally almost affordable.  I wonder how the sound is.  Not the "Soundfield" sound but the musicality.

And on the secondary topic (Schoeps Double MS), there's now an official, Schoeps-labelled, Mac OS X VST and RTAS plug-in for Double MS.

...even with F0ckers problems, I still want one.

Thwe SPS200 is software dependent.  That can be better, after it is debugged in use.  I think this setup, the SPS200, has the promise to be a real winner.  As I am invested in Schoeps I hope they come up with a way to make the Mk4's and a Mk8 fit together with a simple clip.  I have suggested a way to Jerry at Posthorn but I am sure that Schoeps thought of it, too, and rejected it.  I will know as soon as I hear back from Jerry.  This is an exciting area.  Each method, SF and Schoeps, offer a lot of possibilities.  One is the perfect Blumlein with a guaranteed 90 degrees between each lobe.  And the Schoeps software is supposed to do some magic in compensating their sound profiles.  I have read this but do not know.  All exciting developments.  And right here, on TS!

As cool as it seems, I still wouldn't mind having a controller box like the ST250*/350 so I can use the stereo outputs when I feel like running a sbd matrix. I think my forsaken hopes of getting an ST250 are what keeps me from getting the SPS200 or just making my own.

Now I know why Pieter isn't working on resolving my issue.  He's out promoting their new mic!

I bit the bullet...it will be here on Friday.

Keep us posted on this.  Looks like you are the first on the board to dip your toe in the water.  I am very interested.  Are you doing hot shit stereo or going the 5.1 or what?  Fill us in.  Minds of all types want to know.   ;o)

[J.T.L]

Stereo for now...but all A/B format files will be archived for future playback setups. I'm slooooooowly building a 5.1 system for my home office. From what I was told, the US shipment has been stuck in customs for a while now and they had the AES demo mic which was never plugged in or used for $350 less so I jumped on it. I and one other person are the only ones in the country with them...it doesn't make my penis any bigger, but kinda' cool none the less.
