You are probably aware, but in case others are not, the Green is an end-address microphone.

yeah, they're not mine.  i just saw them on Reddit and thought people might be interested here.  who makes these?

they have some sound samples too.  $35 for omni and $45 for cards (each)...  i'm tempted to buy a set for fun and see how they sound at a show.

He's still calibrating the choke so the buckshot will produce the correct "vents".
