I ordered from the same...

?? Are these a matched set and if so did it come with the paperwork?? curiosity gets me every time..

From what I understand the 3m and 10m cables are available - custom lengths are slower coming and no definite date on them.

CQBert

yep, matched and came with paperwork

I live about 20 miles where these were shipped from, so that worked out nicely

I've got 5m remote cables on order but no timetable for them, like you said

were they drop shipped or do you live in CO??

Crumbo · « **Reply #123 on:** December 05, 2007, 11:21:01 PM »

drop shipped

Where did they ship from? I guess what I'm asking is, where is Senn USA?

and +T's to you guys for taking the plunge on these mics. I'm still on the fence.

I believe Senn USA is in Mass... but not 100% sure.

Old Lyme, CT

SennheiserUSA is in CT, but a lot of their products ship from Chicago.

I was told that the remote cables might not be available until mid-late Jan.

if i am not mistaken, the "bottom half" of the mic isn't a preamp, it's simply the XLR connection.
the preamp lives in the capsule half of the mic....and that's why the cables that connect the two are "remote cables" and not "active cables".

You are correct.

Too bad there's no fig-8, no MS then? Or did I miss that capsule?

It's coming - it's in the plan I'm told - don't know the date, though.

Hoping for Fig 8 and Sub-Card...

Yes to both - it takes a while to gear up a new series - they will come.

Also, I heard from a different source that the 8030 would be a wide-cardioid!

The 8030 will be fig.8 - the MKH 30 is fig.8 so the numbering will follow.

I guess the wide-cardioid will be 8090 as the only other wide-cardioid in the Sennheiser programme has a "9" designation (the ME 5009 wide-cardioid head for the SKM 5000 / 5200 radio system).
