idk. i have a beefy stand. i am a steath guy anyway. schoeps---->722.  all the fuss about tiny stuff and i have never not sneaked it in and i have never been caught going in. been snitched out twice inside the show. people i know did it too.  came up with the 2 foot wide beefy bar through taping los lobos. a few places we were at there was only room for one stand.  just thought it would be cool to fit everyone if we had to.

make it as lightweight as possible. did you determine a stock thickness?

in response to the talk about price. what is my time worth? 3 different mics in 2 months. how long do you think all this takes? and what about jobs i am not doing while making the prototypes and then the production parts? so i loose money there. you think i am getting rich on colettes? what about nick's time designing the circuits? testing? all i can say about what we are doing is that because we make everything we can also replace or repair it. not with weeks lead time like other who have sold stuff on this site. the mechanical components have warranty. you screw it up then you pay. if i messed up i will replace it free. who is offering you that? just take that into consideration when buying. lots of cool stuff will be coming out of here in the future. we have alot of ideas.
the powering options that jon from niant designed and made are perfect for this. we all do this because we love recording. there are a lot of smart people on here making cool stuff. gotta love that.

what about nick's time designing the circuits?

I had always heard that was Bill Reutelhuber's design.

Kudos to all the builders for bringing this home. My only complaint is that y'all waited until a couple of weeks after I sold most of my AKG stuff!  :angry2:

Eleven still has a set of my caps, so I guess I'll just hope that they're returned with actives attached  ;D

My thoughts exactly. I'm preparing myself (mentally and financially) for going the new route.  :o

Im not even trying... caps run around $750 a piece brand new (each). Thats not cheap, but finding them used before an active solution was tough enough...

Certainly not. But my other (wishful) alternative is the DPA route, which would end up being more....at least, for the new "compact" setup offered by them. I've always longed for Gefells and with a new job going, it seems like the possibility is ever increasing.
