Topic: stealth mic poll

[spyder9]

I like the 853's too- as long as they are phantom powered.

Ditto.  AT853RX (phantoms) .  There's a pair in the Yard Sale for $250 w/ cardioid caps.

Good luck.   

how big is the battbox and preamp needed to go with these..?

any pics..? i assume that these can fit inside of a hat...

how do these compare - size-wise - with the dpa compact cardiods..?

I run mine with the Denecke PS2 48V power > AD20 preamp > toslink > Jb3.  Very stealthy in a waist bag w/ the JB3.  I actually clip the PS2 to the side of the waist bag.  Kangol setup is in the archive.  Mic caps are slightly larger than the DPAs, but still very stealthy. 

I'll upload some pictures tomorrow night.  I know I owe Setboy a picture or two.

Some have used a MP2 > JB3,  But the, mp2 does not have an AD.

so pretty much, if i want cardioids, i have to go with the larger dpa/hat combo, along with a preamp..?

argh! why doesnt dpa make mini cardioids like they do with the omnis..?

yup, thats about right...but if run the mp2 and mod sbm...you will make some really solid tapes

I posted a pic of these next to my DPA4061's in the rig pics a few months back.  The AT's are obviously stealthable, but the DPA's are way, way smaller.  But, this is the DPA miniatures... I've always wished DPA would make some miniature Cards...

I think the smallest power module you can get for these is a PS-2... not entirely sure though.
