Title: Microphone Madness HLSC-1. Just can't keep them out of sight for stealth. Tips?
Post by: Dede2002 on April 26, 2007, 10:24:58 AM: Hi,

MM HLSC-1 are awesome sounding mics. To my ears they are great. Problem: they are not exactly micro in size nor lightweight. I've tried everything: clipped on my collar (to visible), clipped on my bag ( just can't keep'em in the right position). Any other HLSC-1 users out there? Any tips?
Thanks in advance

I'd like to thank everyone for all the PMs. I'm under the impression that is not a good thing to discuss stealh taping so freely. If I did something wrong, please accept my apologies.

Yeah..That's a good idea. But I've been told that doing so you make your warranty void. Not sure about that though. Thanks for the tip

Post by: roggae on May 06, 2007, 07:42:38 PM: I'd be kinda upset if they wouldn't fix my mics because of a little sharpie marker. I am not sure why they don't make them black from the start....

Hi Arni,

That's exactly what I did with mine. But the silver grill is the most dificult issue to deal with.

That's what I keep asking to myself!

Post by: Arni99 on May 09, 2007, 03:52:20 AM: Simply put black windscreens over the HLSCs.
I got chris´(church) cardioids and 9100-preamp yesterday and the windscreens coming with his mics fit perfectly for the HLSCs ;).
