Topic: Schoeps CMR Rig - Tinybox/MK4/CMR- Sarah Mclachlan Samples from 3/12/2011

Yeah. To me, it definately does force bigger setups to make a better argument as far as quality:result ratio is concerned. Is the advantage of an SD722 really worth the size compare to a TB>M10? Dunno, and it depends on the situation, but the position for using a smaller setup has definately gained a weapon in the argument.

Can't speak for the 722, but the R-44/DR-680/SD788 still have a pretty solid argument for them if you like 4 channel. 

Otherwise, using a 722 or similarly pricey deck may represent its own kind of Kool-Aid

That's several questions...   One is M10 vs. 722.  The other is CMR's.  And yet another is TB performance and features.

One issue with the CMR is that it has no CMR.  Balanced cables are important around the stage, around dimmers, and on longer cable runs.   I've had my schoeps overload on extremely loud material... So I still have some concerns regarding how the 48v polarization voltage will impact sound quality and mic behavior.

I have to admit in these situations I run the cmc6's

Just ordered CMR's, will be shipped next week 
Ordered my Tinybox from Jon a few days ago as well.

It will be interesting to comp the nbox side by side with this rig
on the same material going into the same recorder.

Size vs quality will always be debated, but when i am allowed to tape
i run schoeps caps > cmc6 > V-3 > AD2K+ > R-44 digi-in
Sometimes i run the nbox for the convenience of a smaller rig, but i know
for the highest quality i need my full rig.

Dammit, that's sexy as hell.

Schoeps stuff always confuses me. I know this has been beaten to death elsewhere on the board, but what caps do you run with the CMRs? Does it take the Colette series caps? What's an approximate price of caps + CMRs for this setup? Damned tempting. Not that I need it, but toy lust is ever-present.    And I'm diggin' the size of the Littlebox.

Yes, you can use any Schoeps Colette series caps.

ok, ran the maiden Tinybox show last night for Ween(big thanks to Kobi(liveween) for the hookup), not going to be the greatest recording due to the fact that its the Aragon and we were pretty much forced to run FOB, but none the less you have to start somewhere and there were 4 other setups ran so hopefully those get upped so we can see some comps. also just a couple rig pics for fun.

The size comparison between the contents of the 2 rig bags says a lot. That's nice and small.

would the only reason FOB would be a problem be the mk41's?

na, it sounded bad in there, they got it dialed in a bit after a few songs but that venue has a sweet spot the size of a gnats ass and FOB ain't it

but you have to admit that the Portico has a sexiness factor that could never be pocket sized...and the rack ears give you something to grip.
