please do elaborate for the stupid fucks that are too lazy, and, stupid to take a moment to figure this stuff out for themselves.
why not let the world know about stealth??
dipshits

Unlike the polarized black and white abstracted world of the interenet, reality is shades of grey.

DPA is not 'advertising stealth' in the sense that we use the term around here, they produce and sell microphones that can be hidden on talent and used on camera without drawing attention to the gear.

equipment, not technique.

That does not equate to stealthing.[..]
So I chose to do my field recordings with small discreet microphones that obscured the sight lines to the minimum, and drew the least attention.

My quoting of the DPA description was somewhat tounge-in-cheek and intentionally open to selective intrepretation.  As you know, we share many of the same values my friend, in respect to talk of stealth recording on open forums and also keeping a discreet low-profile when open recording.

I should have isolated the quote better, Lee. I'm in agreement with your take on it.

are we really going to have this argument again?

Been stealthing with MK4s for 20 years.  Generally I do bigger shows so not obvious.  Small clubs may be a different story.

I have stealthed with a Rode NT4 for crying out loud!  I tried stealthing with Beyerdynamic MC930s once but it hurt (I won't specify which body part it hurt).  Now I routinely stealth with Beyerdynamic CK930s, which are very similar in size to daspyknows' MK4s and also Neumann KM140s and DPA-what-are-they-4023s?
