Thanks for the replies, looks like I will be going with the SP-CM-4.
Does anyone know if its worth the $10 extra for "large premium locking windscreens" or if the standard ones will be just as good
or if "shure rotating clips" or "mini rotating clips" would be better
Also it seems from what ive read that the 3 wire battery boxes would be a better option than getting a battery box from SP, are there any professionaly made 3 wire battery boxes or do you pretty much have to make one on your own or find someone who does?
A few of us (Sanjay and myself) were making these in the past, but we're both taking a break until our hands get less shakey and our patience improves.
In the meantime, you could:
- ask SP to put miniXLR (TA3F) on each mic
- ask SP or Chris Church (Church audio) to make you either a 3-wire batt. box, or a 3-wire batt box + pre
(the Church pre is really nice for the money)
Or, you can just start with a miniplug and standard battery box and mod to 3-wire later.
