i found the bm shocks to be a little loose for 480
of course this would be a different setup but personally i feel like they are made for mics over 21mm

I think the Buses are the same size as the Joe Meeks. They are larger than the Schempz and too large for the Vark Bar. I have to wrap tape around my Vark with them.

He will sell them by themselves!!  They are great for active setups.

Does busman sell the schoeps style shock mounts solo or do you have to buy a mic set?

You  can get a Single on eBay that looks real similar to mine...

I wonder if these caps would work with the new setup. If the 260's can run the CK6 caps, why not?

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/811335-REG/Telefunken_ELA_M_260_STEREO_FIELD_RE_ELA_M_260_Small.html

Also not a bad price on a stereo tube set with three sets of caps. I've seen these mics in action. The owner of this new Telefunkun company was on Dead/Phish tour in '09 testing these mics. The Dead used his vox mic. I think Phish did/does to.


edit to add: There is some type of adapter to allow CK6 caps to work with these mics.

Thanks audball. It looks like this set is with the bulky power supply. Maybe it can be swapped for the field set?

It could be fun finding a pic of my "home studio". :laugh:

Thanks for that.  ;)

I haven't really been following this thread much, but I just read back a few pages. Nice colettes being made but what is the hole on the non capsule side all about?
