Topic: Stealthing very loud metal shows...extended from Team EVIL

[pfife]

Well I do think I'm convinced that the DPAs are a better buy than the SPs.  Less shit to haul around means easier crotchability means more shows taped.  Also to trade off a bit of crowd noise for a recording filled with true ambience, definately worth it.  Looks like i'm going to be broke until march, oh well.

keep searching Ebay dog.  I got mine for $295.  (around $310 shipped...)  Not much more than new SP mics you were talking about getting.

seller was transducer67.  Not the best transaction I've ever had, but they've finally been shipped.


EDIT: actually, someone in the kickdown section just posted a dpa 4061->sp bb-> njb3 source, if you want to sample that.  I dl'd it to hear what it sounds like to be relying on the NJB3 A/Ds.

I hear those can come a bit beat up and altered w/ a Lemo connector for theater apps. Then again, thats a sweet price for a pair of 4061's 

yup- according to schwill, you can cut off the lemos and solder them onto a stereo miniplug and use them w/ a sp bb.  That's what I intend to do when those ho's get here!

What's the technical name for a Lemo?  Never heard of that one before.

I don't suppose that wireless would be an option for our hobby....or would it?

[Tim]

not really.

the mic is hard wired to a battery powered pack which transmits to the reciever out at the board. it would be more crap to bring in and it wouldn't be any more stealthy than just running your mic cables. also there's the chance of interference if the band is using wireless.

Thanks. 

You don't suppose any crazy fuck out there has been keeping an audio archive of all of Mr. Bush's speeches do you?  Could be fun to relive some of those great ones from the past 4 years.

[Tim]

I'm sure there's audio of it all, though I don't know that I could bare to listen...

[pfife]

I bet c-span.org has bunchez of them.

[zhianosatch]

i should scan my 4061 manual for the archive. it describes the mic cleaning process so no one should be afraid of a little makeup and spittle from buying on ebay.

I just got the 4061's today.   Pictures do not even begin to show how small these mics are.  Might want to take that into consideration when making your choice.  Here's a picture of a 4061 beside an AT853 to demonstrate... Its pretty unbelievable.

Now just need to do some soldering (which I totally suck at...)

[Tim]

wow

I had no idea they were that small...

[caymanreview]

wow, that is stealthy!

[pfife]

yeah, I think it would be in their best interest to post something to use as a comparison in their pictures.  Moke said they were the size of a pencil eraser-  I'd agree as long as we are talking about an eraser on one of those mechanical pencils.

I'm pretty stoked about how tiny these ho's are.
