Topic: SP-PEN2- stereo pen microphone - newbie question

[gilliganjohnson]

Hello folks,
I'm new to your forum - it looks like a good one to explore. I'm interested in stealth taping and I can't spend a ton of money.  The bic pen microphones (SP-P sounded better than the other similar mics.  I like how the high-mids are warmer and present in the pink floyd sample at their website.  Although, When I ran sound for my wife's band, I was forever accused of cutting out too many high-mids.  That is where music can get real ugly real fast. Any way, Has anyone used these mics, any thoughts.  $70 bucks seems like a fair price if its a good mic.  I would get the battery pack with in-line volume control, I think.  I haven't purchased a recorder yet.  Is there a consensus on the pick of the litter>  The Edirol 09, if it is what it says it is, would also be fair price.  Bob is in town in a few weeks and I have a seat in row 35.  Who Knows?  I look forward to exploring your archives here.  Thanks
Brian

Bic pen mics? Well I don't think I would want to use a pen mic to record concerts. I would rather use a set of stealth cardioids or omni mics depending on where you were recording, and what you were recording. Do you have a picture of this mic? or a link so I can look at it.

This is not a stealth recording forum...  Be careful, there is a certain moderator here that will split your nuts off the side of your head....
