M1290-HC>MIC 2496> JB3

The MIC 2496 has great LED level meters much easier to see and adjust from, than the JB's meter. Also supplies P48V.

Has you been running it on the 9v battery? Documentation says 1 9V can power 2 48v mics for 4+ hrs., is this accurate?

I can run 2 mics on P48V for 3 hours with just 2 AAs in my pre

Hmmm I am getting much better than that (but then again I set the levels, turn the meters off and just watch the NJB3 for levels...)  Have a set of rechargeables in it now with over 4 hrs on em and they are still going strong...

nice!  I'm not saying they won't go longer, just what I have needed to use and been fine with.  Gotta use the rechargeables though.

Yup, as for the MIC 2496 having great meters, nothing beats the meters in a mixpre or mp2, they are even visible in direct sunlight...

Try searching the Rig Pics forum for the keyword "stealth" and you'll find a bunch of pics.

They have instructions posted on their website in the Support area.

Here is my current set up.  The only part I do not like is the Hosa XLR to stereo mini cable.  I am talking to JKLabs about getting the MPS6010 moded with a permanent pigtail mini (you can't see it, it is in the outside mesh pocket).  I use a block of foam between the modSBM and M1 to prevent them from having a frottage session.  The REI fanny is really thin, just under 2 inches thick when it is all zipped up....a bit bulkier with all the bits and pieces in there.  I can get it around my belly under a slightly baggy tee shirt and sneak it in, but I rarely have to do that.  WHen the Sonosax is added to the mix, I wear the modSBM and M1 in the SBM pleather case low near my abdomen....the Sax goes in the REI pack and I got wires going everywhich way between the two.

Stealthwise I'm running CS Binaurals>Battery Box>D100.

I'm on my 2nd pair of active cable mics, and have yet to attempt stealthing a show with them. I envy those folks that sneak in Schoeps, Sonosax, MME, and a deck...I can't imagine doing that. Hell, I was nervous enough just throwing a battery box into the mix.

Ran my new gear stealth for the first time last week (AT853rx>PS-2>AD-20>JB3).  Fairly high security situation (no bags allowed in the venue), which made life a bit tough.  Managed to get it all in though.  Quite happy with the way things turned out, though the JB3 is hard to read in low light and the AD-20 has no meters.  I guess practice will help me in that respect.

Any opinions on the difference in sound quality between the PS-2>AD-20 and the MP-2 w/o A/D converter?

I'll give it another go at the Peter Gabriel show tomorrow methinks.

sorry if it's a bit off topic, but I put an mp3 sample of what I taped online and would appreciate any constructive advice that you guys could offer.  Overall I'm quite happy with the result but I notice two things that I could improve:

-some noticeable  phasing
-some channel inbalance

I guess the phasing might be bacause the mics were on my shirt and maybe too low (I was in the 5th row)? Or maybe I was moving too much?
The channel inbalance is because I was too far stage right. I tried to fix it in Adobe Audition, but maybe could have done a bit more...


Any other advice?

you can download it here:  www.unitar.org/ccp/test.mp3

Thanks to all!

you cannot move at ALL when you stealth. the mics must remain stationary.

It's kinda hard when you're packed into a sold-out venue with people pushing from every direction.  I guess I'm used to the omnis I was using before which were a bit more forgiving.
