Have anyone used schoeps for stealth? I am currently using CCM or CMC6>KC5>MK or NBox>MK...The way I do it is okay but need some advise from others who have also stealth with Schoeps. Pls contact me privately so we can exchange ideas. I do it often but always worry because how awkward it is to point something towards the stage. So need some advise on some techniques how to do it without being too noticeable.
Thanks

How easy is that:

B&H has the Sony D10 bitbucket for $200 right now. Booyah.

I think he already has an Nbox and caps. At least according to his sig.

Just for another option, PM sent.

What's the D10? Is this a typo, or is there a new bit bucket out?

I'm guessing he meant M-10.

I'm guessing he meant M-10.
Definitely. I think the OP was thinking back to his DAT days... ;)

Just face the stage, and try not to move. Maybe I'm not getting the question.....

Thanks...Yeah I already have the gear...but find it difficult finding a way to set it up so that it's not too noticeable...I was thinking of concealing the mics inside my clothes but don't know what others do...I cannot wear a hat because no one wears headgear in the concerts I go to. Thanks.

Yes, M-10 is what I meant. For $200 I've been trying not to buy one....it only has a line in, which works for me, but there is another Sony with an optical in that is a bit larger and pricier.
I've still got my original M-1 that is 9 years old, as well as my DA-20 I bought in 1996. It is my fervent hope and desire to transfer all my DAT collection by the end of the summer and get rid of the whole shootin' match.

just put your M-10 in your front pocket. you can always wear a shirt with stiff collar and mount some omnis under the collar. another possible way to do it is wear a shirt with double chest pockets and run them inside the pocket just pointing up if they are omni.

I look absolutely stupid in a hat. Never wear them--not ever. I look like a bigger geek than I really am.
Oh, yeah, I wear a hat when taping. Attaching them to clothes has inherent contact, rubbing issues, and is not high enough.
Get over it. Move on. Wear a hat.

Ill 2nd that, but the hat does improve the recording quality (no rub, higher, some wind blocking)

I put on the cap that a lot of people here like and my gf looked at me and threw up a little in her mouth. No cap for me. :(

I'm guessing it just wasn't stylin' on ya, huh?
Mine does the same with me when I wear a ballcap... nevermind that one. :)

How do you position and attach Schoeps capsules on a cap? I was thinking of using MK21>KC5>CMC6>V3>SD722 for stealth which I've used to do in a tall bag before. I was successful every time except once (my last time) when I got caught (the artist manager got the security to call the police so it was such a dreadful experience - and there's more to it but for this tread it's not practical to tell the whole story). So after that experience I'm seriously thinking of putting my capsules in my cap and running the KC5 cables down by clothes and pants into a bag containing my gear on the floor well away from anyone's view. Anyone got pictures of how they attached the Schoeps capsule in or on a cap? You can send me photos privately if you want. Thanks!
PS I've use my Nbox with my M10 a few times before but I still prefer the the sound of my CMC6>V3>SD722 rig for stealth.

You could purchase the larger Sony bit bucket with the optical input to eliminate some of that bulk (unless you're using the A>D on the 722).
Please tell the whole story....I'd love to hear what the cops had to say. Were you running on a stand?

puke or not, i dont know of a better way to run the schoeps

When I can't wear a hat (e.g. symphony), and the rows aren't elevated in a tiered fashion (school multi-purpose room), I go for someone I can hang my coat, but that only works in the winter...
The absolute worst situation and one I would have to resort to wearing mics on my shoulders or lower would be at a symphonic show (no hat, or at least out of place), where there are no seats, just one GA level, in my home town where people at the show might know me (not security, just random people), I'm alone, and the lights are on. Everything else I think I could pull something if I was motivated, especially if I was willing to plan ahead and had a little help.

if there is a will, there is a way..... I recorded Jesus Christ Superstar when Sebastien Bach (from Skid Row) was doing the lead
