I tape classical music in stealth mode, with my DPA 4060 (and Sony M10, my latest buy). I am very satisfied of these mics.
However, the upgrade "bug" is always around... I was wondering if cardio mics would be any better for large auditorium, when I cannot be close to the orchestra. Which mics would the TS friends recommend? Have to be small (not very good for cardioids, I know) since stealth is a must. They have to be of a comparable quality to my 4060 and should not cost a fortune.
I have looked for info on TS, I see the CA-11 and SP-CMC-8 have a lot of followers. But several people tape loud, amplified music, often in front of stacks. This is not my case, I tape only non-amplified music, with a large dynamic range and not so loud a crowd. Therefore, if I cannot get a result similar to my 4060, then I'll stick to omni and kill the "bug".
I'd also like some advice on how to place the mics. I wear the 4060's on a pair of eyeglasses, they are so small. Maybe this would not be feasible with larger cardios. What could be a reasonable stealth arrangement? I cannot go with a baseball cap to a classical concert, though.
Thank you for your help.
