there is one m118 going around that has had a 10db boost button added by Doug
Thats  probually what I remember hearing.

that's Rich Skaggs', and it actually wasn't a 118 until Doug got his hands back on it. The thing had apparently been making the rounds as a 118, but was actually a custom phantom source Doug built around 92 or so.....Rich had sent it in for a tuneup, and found out it wasn't a 118. Amazingly, Doug agreed to mod it into a 118 for a really nominal cost! So it now is a 118, but the 10db boost is no more.

Spoke to Doug today and because of the m148's design it cant be modded to give anymore gain than the +20. :'(The 118's were different.I did learn a few facts today about the m148 and the (mod) sbm-1 that I didn't know before.He made the m148 to accomadate the sound of Schoeps.And the mod he did for the sbm-1 (warm mod,line stage upgrade) was done to accomadate the m148 sound.

I believe originaly...that the m118 was designed to combat/compliment the (imo) harsh tinnyness of the CMC4 mic body.
I've not heard that from anyone..but always figured that he built these around the schoeps mic, and that he addressed the sound appropriatly.  Adding warmth and punch was a big deal for a cmc4/mk4. 
I dont find it so necessary for cmc6 mics though, and find that newer scheops > m148 recordings sound a little "thick" to me.

tend to agree about mk4, but very nice with omnis and 41's, and I'd imagine that the hf boost on the verticals would make them a nice match too.

yeah, think the modsbm1 does a nice job preserving the m148 sound...though I do think I lose a touch of detail I would otherwise have out of the dpas. Not a lot, but noticeable.

marc, you just need to pick up a cheap ad1k with a busted workdclock and another unit that can give a wordclock out and you'd have a 1k working fine forever...

what I really need to do is run 4022>m148>722 and ditch the sbm1. I promised myself that my new years resolution is to get this done, though I have to wait until the dust settles from the move back to Phoenix next month.

The Schoeps don't have the detail to lose, but the dpas do. ;)

It's 102 right now outside here in Longmont Colorado and it's not even 1pm...

Very unusual for CO

no question, I'd even go a dry 110. It's been dank and 90 here for a couple of weeks, nasty stuff. :-X
