I wanted to play w/my 4061s, so I built a nice disc for them out of a bunch of household junk and a quick trip to mardens.
started w/a 10' pie plate, padded w/around 1/2" of foam stuffing.
then, I cut two circles and the edge trim out of a new, and very thick/frizzy toilet seat cover!!
its crapa-lackin' !
I cut a whole in the outer rim of the pie pan (drilled it out), so that a sabra shock mount arm could slide in tightly and hold the disc.
I then used contact spray glue (strong stuff!) to attache the carpet to each side and the edge. There is a center whole about 1/2", just in case..but I dont use it.
Next up was a pre-hacked SoundPro T bar that they sell for the 853s and other small mics. This is held onto the Sabra w/some zipties. it allows me to move the mics all around, or spaced if necessary.
not bad for spare parts and $9 at mardens!
I'll fly it tomorrow for Mule/ABB in NH and see how it sounds.

Is that bar like a flexible goose neck? (scheming on my own yet to be built J-disk)
-
yes, the piece that holds the mics is a soundpro part.
www.soundproffesionals.com (unless i spelt that wrong)
theirs comes w/a nice 5/8th mount. mine didn't it was just the gooseneck.
IMO, its the best thing for mounting small mics in any config. that thing is pretty sweet.
-
Cool, I'll have to check that out. How do the mics attach to the bar? a clip?
+T for coming in under the cost of a round of pints.
-
the windscereen holds the mic.

So how did the show come out with the J-disc?
-
