Hi,
I just got a new Sony PCM-M10 and I really like it so far. I will be trying to tape a couple of outdoor concerts (folk and blugrass) later this summer, and I would like to have some suggestions on a "starter" rig. I can't spend a whole lot, so I've been looking at matched pairs such as the Samson C02s, Behringer C-4s, Apex 185s, Equation Audio C.103s. I don't need perfection. Just cardioid condensors that will outperform the built ins. I also have to buy a stand, wind sox, umbrella, and a battery powered phantom 48v box for the mics. I think. Any help at all to put a budget rig together would be much appreciated.
