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?
it came out excellent.
