Title: CMC-1 cards w/ DR-07 from Sound Pro; good choices?
Post by: Zeti on November 09, 2009, 03:00:46 AM: Looking to do a taping and found this site. Amazing resources. I am looking to spend $400 CDN for concert taping as well as private jam session recording. Will move on to gear-aquisition-syndrome later

The CMC-1 stereo cardoid mics from SP, along with the mini battery power supply, and the DR-07 seemed like a good starter kit and will run me $339 US.

Am I missing anything? Would you recommend a different setup for auditorium-taping?

Thank you!

EDIT: Ended up going with the AT U853 cards with a external battery power and the DR-07 as per research on the mic discussion forum. More flexibility at only 60 more dollars (guess it's noodle soup month for me)

I think you will like the set-up. I like the 853's too.

Very caring staff at Sound Pros. I just bought the Tascam DR-07 from them and had a very nice experience. :cheers:

I love my AT853's and various caps, but if you don't need mics that take switchable caps, getting CA-14 cards and a mini battery box from Church Audio will cost significantly less and will sound as good or possibly better (they come with the low sensitivity mod standard).
