Topic: This stealth mic decent?

[Howid]

Been looking for a good stealthing mic for my JB3 and they're all really expensive. Did some looking around and found these:

Going for 80 bucks. I assume this is all I'd need.

Any comments would be great.

[BJ]

yes, they are decent mics...alot of people have used them, but eventually upgraded...page  MTerry(i think) i believe he has a pair trying to sell them for 50$

good luck

Thanks, will do

haha, what a coincidence, I just asked about these here too: http://www.taperssection.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=32596.0
I got them although I haven't had a chance to try them out yet. Did you listen to their samples, they sounded decent. We'll see though...

[Howid]

I listened to a couple Robert Plant samples. Sounded pretty good and they used MD, I'm sure it'd sound even better with the JB3.

They are ok mics for the money.

Terry, you still have your Squid cards for sale?  You may have a buyer.

I would'nt recommand these mics for use with the JB3.

As seen on the Giant Squid website FAQ section:
When you plug the microphone in the Nomade Jukebox 3, you'll get sound in only one channel.
It is a design flaw in the Nomad Juke Box 3 in which the plastic body won't alow most microphones plugs to be full inserted. This is an easy fix, however.

He'd be running them through a battery box most likely, so this wouldn't be an issue.

Gonna grab these mics. After hearing a few great sound samples, and great feedback from ya'll, I've made up my mind.

Thanks

Indeed, the gold jack that came with these mics dont quite fit snugly, shit, lol, is there another way to get around this besides surgery? An adapter, perhaps?

 I've heard dremel and a light, steady hand.

Darren makes a solid sturdy set but the panasonic capsules are on the cheapest of ends, talk to him about buying a set of different capsules on your own and see what he might charge to assemble. I am not affiliated but can vouch that he is a straight up honest guy, doesn't pretend these mics are something they are not.

Not sure what you mean, you mean he can add a diferent jack to the end of these mics?
