Man, this sounds awesome for such a tiny rig.  How much do a set of CMR cables go for?  Where can I get them?

The CMR's will run 950-1000 for a set depending on the length you get, add 180 for the Tinybox and of course caps, but it is a dam fine and very small rig

It took along time for this system to catch on. Jump on the bus Dan and have some kool aid.

i took a sip of kool aid
i ordered my own koolaid.....it will never come...anyone every had a hard time getting a hold of Jerry at Posthorn.  I have ordered tons of stuff from him in the past. he is not returning my emails or calls for the past 3 or 4 days.  I know CMR's are in the country, because edtyre got his and i ordered mine before him.  get VERY frustrated!

Maybe he's on vacation.   

What is the price on a pair of the cmr's from Posthorn?  My Milab actives sound great and I'm still hoping for the Gefell Nbox to materialize, but you never know...

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.

Darktrain, what is that yellow box? I suppose it is for protecting the mic's. Can you tell me the brand?

Sorry, just noticed this question, its a small pelican(1020), i use it to store the cmr cables/caps

[tim in jersey]

Is the cable on the CMRs the same diameter and stiffness as the KC5 cable?

its more akin to the ccm cable

Thanks for the replies, fellas.

What's the outer jacket like on the CMR's? Is it as stiff as the KC5s, or are they more flexible?

Its pretty flexible and a little stiff, it is kevlar reinforced

order your CMR's from Professional Sound Services out of NYC. ask for Justin Marinoff (he is a taper and the sales MGR) 2312-586-1033

[colargol]

Very eager to hear some comparison between this setup and the nbox... I have trouble doing a comp, since I only do stealth...

Just got my CMR's today! I want to wire them up with 5 pin mini xlr connector to run with Niant's Tinybox

[darktrain]

Here is a Rockin Heart sample and a quieter sample from Sarah Mclachlan from last night and shows how nice and versatile that Tinybox and CMR combo can be, I think it turned out very nice for a venue that is challenging to get a nice pull from, I was at First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, I was dead center 25 rows back, I was using the MK41's/CMR's> Naiant Tinybox> M10

Very nice pull for the combo.  The few times I've tried to tape Sarah, I've been burned by the crowd.

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a CMR>tinybox setup over the N-Box.

A few questions:

How long does the tinybox run the CMR's?

How are y'all wiring the CMR>Switchcraft Tini-Q, using 4 or 5 pin connector?

I'm thinking of dumping the open rig (mkXX>KC5>CMC6>xlr>pre>recorder, or mkXX>cmc6>xlr>pre>recorder). I'm thinking a 5' or so CMR will do the trick for self-worn. But, when running 'open' I sometimes need a big homerun. IE: clamping to center balconies/loges when my seat(s) are way off center. Is there a practical length as to an extender cable I can make?
