Topic: Shure Big-Ass Screens VS Dead Rats (w/ small foam inside)

[dactylus]

This year for 10K I'll be ready with the Shure Big-Ass Screens + Dead Rats if needed.  The wind was nasty there last year...

Anyone have two, extra LARGE CR bags?

I ran DPAs + Dead Rats at Mountain Jam 2 weeks ago.  Wind was heavy for Day 3.  Gusts had to be around 35 mph.  Still had wind in my recordings. 

As for phasing, the only cure for that is getting closer to the stacks and DFC. 

I hate wind.  I hate it.

I can fit both Shure's into one 750ml CR bag. But it's full, I can probably throw in my regular windscreens but that's about it. I present to you.....(drum roll please).......the Gear Bag Nutz!

I run a pair of baby sized windtechs indoors mainly for smoke protection, but busted out the Shure A81s and used them at Penn's Landing for Phil Friday night.  Pretty strong gusts of wind at times.  More than enough to see my mics shaking back and forth pretty hard - that's a pretty big gust given the top section of my stand is more than an inch in diameter, and all the section locks clamp down firm and tight.

Plenty of volume and phasing effects, but absolutely no rumble. 

Never tried rats, so I cannot compare but I thought the Shure A81s performed very well Friday.

Shures too big in the bag?  LOL you guys you should try lugging ADK A51TLs through an airport sometime.

Good to meet Spyder at the show.  Dude, I still cannot figure out exactly where Syracuse is or why I would have flown there to see a Ratdog show in Albany in 1998.

I am guessing the pint (473ml) are the bags that fit perfectly for one Shure...
