Hello guys,

I need to mount my CA-14 microphones in a hat. Are there any recommendations for a suitable hat or how to "modifie" one?

We don't discuss stealth methods in the open. Folks may PM you. As always, use your imagination.

Is that a cassette deck he's sporting also?? Retro man!

A top loading analog cassette deck with a vocal mic gaffed to a bucket hat. That had to have been a sweet pull. I bet he hid extra blank cassettes in his beard.

You shoulda seen him back in the day with the Nagra on his back.

Hmm somewhere I have a shot of a guy with a zoom duct-taped to his forehead from earlier this year.

You could probably get a nice mid-side setup in those couldn't you?

While this isn't stealth, I am wearing mics wedged over the top of my ears

...so if your mics are small enough they are invisible even out in the open

I have to assume you recorded a bottle opening, pour into glass, fizzle and first gulp from the enjoyer's perspective at the end of the brewery interview/tour as a fitting closure.

Indeed...but it was the sound of taps opening

Sweet chilled copper tap heads. wha? That can't be a Tasmanian tiger mounted behind the bar!

It is (and a real one) because the Cascade Brewery is in Tasmania

I finally got Monte Montgomery to allow me to open tape him(because he loves my stealth recordings). I had set up 2 sets of mics on a wall pole to tape the opening band. After Monte said "yes" to my request to tape him, he looked up at the wall pole and quipped: "how you gonna get all that shit in your hat?" I about hit the floor laughing...
