Hi Guys,
Im looking for some advise. I am going to 'stealth' record a orchestral performance this weekend and was wondering what kind of results i would get with the gear i currently own. I was thinking of using my H120 with a SP-PREAMP-11 set to +22 and using microphonemadness' MM-BSM-8 with MKE-2 caps. My main concern are the mics. Will these do the job? The venue has great acoustics (make for orchestra) but i will be sitting a bit far back.
I was looking at the SP-BMC-10 (AT899 Caps) or MM-HLSC-3 croakie mounted. Thoughts?
Thanks
Travis

Assuming you connect everything properly and press record at the proper time, you should come away with a recording. As far as what results you'll achieve, there's really no way to tell you that. You'll have to go give it a shot and find out.
Don't mean to sound harsh, but it's not really a question that anyone here can answer with any kind of certainty.

Thanks. What are peoples opinion on the MM-BSM-8 with MKE-2 caps? are there better mics around the $250 mark for stealth recording acoutic and classical music?

sorry for nagging, i just want to bring home a nice recording that i can enjoy listening to later on.

No matter how good the recording is you will enjoy it. Just how much you enjoy it depends a lot on the quality of the recording. Go for it! 8)

the MKE-2 are VERY good microphones. You will have a hard time finding a better pair of mics at that price....

If I'm reading the venue layout correctly you should easily walk away with a good recording.

Haven't used those mics. Thanks for the link. They have low output. I think you will need about 50-60 db gain on them. I'd try to sit in the front row.
