Nice Page Are those cards or hypers?

I think all 3 are cards. I can't remember when I took the last picture if it was after I got the hypers or not. The mount shots were sometime last summer. I've figured out that it's probably in my best interest to use a color coordination system (black for one set, colors for the other) now that I have multiple caps since it's just a tiny serial number that would differentiate between pairs unless I do something to mark the cables. I can see myself in the dark of a theater putting up one card and one hyper by accident....

(stock beyerdynamic windscreen on the right).

So they arent labeled cards or hyper

I would think that there would be bigger vents on the hypers.  Maybe too small to notice unless you are looking for it.

Nope, same size vents, the stuff on the front of the diaphragm is the same, whole nine yards.

There is a sticker on the very back (you see it on the green windscreen mic) that is light grey, that has the serial number, and next to that is the model (930/950). It's not etched on, and I'd hate to have to rely on seeing one digit different to know I've grabbed the right one.

Well that was poorly thought out I mean, come on, how expensive would it be to have the pattern etched on?!?!

What mic clips did you use??

Full setup to follow, once I sort out the shockmount.  But for now:  http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=144397.0

What mic clips did you use??

I'm not 100% positive, since I've had them for quite some time, but I think they're MBHO clips that came with my Jecklin disc.

That's certainly what they look like - yes.

Nice bluelawn. Now that I have my Schoeps, I use DINa/DIN/NOS/MS/WideORTF NOLABARS and a Schoeps ORTF Bar

DIY Milab NOS bar...used the Nano Clamp and a A20 Knockoff shockmount...





Bar by itself...spins in the microphone clip...temporary fix was a bit of Gaffers tape...I guess I'll cover it in large shrink tubing if I find some...



7/8 Oak Round - 3/8 16 carriage bolt hack sawed - 3/8 to 5/8 Barrel Adaptor and Jam nut.  I drilled with a 5/16 bit and reamed a for a nice tight fit.

Consider using this hanger bolt in the future - http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/detail.ex?sku=32724
I have a few if you can't find any locally.
