I have asked anyone who will listen....  I want custom length of 5m...

What I am told is that nobody has a correct price  ??? - is it a 10M price  ????  nobody will give me a firm price...  then nobody will place an order unless I commit to buying the longer cable with a promise that it will not be that much :o :o... then nobody has a commitment on when it can be made but under no circumstance will they order without payment in advance since it is a custom item :P :P..

I say F@#$ Sennheiser for being bastards...  this is not that hard... they have had my money since last year for shock mounts and not even offered an explanation let alone an apology for not shipping them.. apparently they may ship on 4-28  :-\

I told my dealer... I will pay when they can commit to a firm price and a delivery date...  :banging head: :banging head:

CQBert....

If you think I am frustrated you guessed correctly...   :help:

Hi CQBert,

If you are in the USA please drop me an email at mpappas (at) sennheiserusa (dot) com with all of the details (dealer information and what you ordered or need a quote on and the date) and I will look into it and get right back to you.

Best regards,

Of course he can - he's one of the good guys.

I let him know as soon as I saw CQBert's post, as I know he *can* do something.

glad to see that a sennheiser rep is helping out
I really want a pair of theses, had my taxes done today and just found out I owe the Feds about $1300 in tax dollars... $$ I barely (don't really ) have... and the state like $265...
so
If all goes well may be next year...
or if I'm lucky I can pick some up in the yard sale   :)  lol

I know a 3M remote cable seems like a good Idea and that's the lenght I'd want (aside from a 2meter cable)
they should just manufacture the things.


glad to hear we (you all) may get some action to what is needed


let us know how things transpire

moe. 2008-3-31 HOB NOLA MKH8040ST

Thanks Crumbo

man they are warm sounding. The mics were positioned at about 7' so maybe that is why they picked up so much bass.

nice!

I downloaded that last night but haven't listened to it yet

I've noticed these mics pick up wicked bass but, to me at least, it seems smoother than the schoeps in that aspect

You had any updates?  I'm supposed to have my quote by Friday, and I'm told that once I get it it will be a lot quicker to actually get the material...

He has not responded to email or a voice message left.

My dealer is once again pushing Senn for answers and not getting anywhere..

I will call again when I have a free moment or two today..

Crumbo, Thanks again for the use of the Senns. I taped Son Volt last night, but don't think I am going to up it due to the fact that I thought it was a bad mix and a bit chatty. Gonna up Dragon Smoke today. Link to come.

Here we go....  Update...

My dealer had lunch with one of the Senn National Guys and explained what has been happening.

I have been asked to provide a letter highlighting my issues to go back to Germany...

I will cover the points professionally while still communicating the frustrations of the purchase process surrounding the accessories that go with these new mics.

Progress is slow but steady...

Stay tuned.
