Here are a few samples of the CK-40 & Busman modded CK-1's (CK-1b's as they have been dubbed). The recording was made almost a month ago now... been real busy, then it took me a while to figure out Ardour still has a few bugs when exporting regions... but finally got them all exported and ready for you to check out.
I was about 20-25 feet center front of the stage (in front of the board actually). The room has very low ceilings, but is a nice space with carpeted floors. Equipment was CK-40 / CK-1b's > Edirol R-4 w/ Busman T-mods > MONOX4 > 24/48 WAV > Ardour > 16/44.1 w/ Shaped Noise dithering WAV > Ogg & Flac.
The CK-1b's had the hyper caps on, probably the wrong caps for the room, but that is what I had on so there you go. I just got my sub-card (wide card) caps from Chris this week and will be using them tonight at Lotus in Philly, so we will see how they sound there. I will also make sure to use them the next time I record Los Manatees at The Sandtrap.
The CK-40 was set to cardioid in X-Y... I recorded another night using the CK-40 set figure 8's (blumlein) and will post a sample from that night later.

Links aren't working.
Sorry about that... Links should be working now.
Somehow the read rights for 'others' was not set when they were uploaded.
This is the first show with the new Busman Sub-Cardiod capsules + the Busman modded CK-1b's
There is a soundboard already on The Archive, so I am sharing these here for the Busman mod taste test...
