Title: Missing anything?
Post by: newplanet7 on December 23, 2007, 04:46:12 PM: Ah the n00b questions

-I bought the Busman PMD 660.
Do I need any other power for it
other than 4 aa bateries?

-I will be buying the akg 391's x-mas day, with cables.

-I found these shockmounts:

-Swivel Bar:

-I know I need a stand.
Any comments on what kind/where to go?

-Do I need anything else?

Sorry about all the questions. I just want to have everything ready to go.

extensive info there, in both sections.
Thanks moke.

A traveling case for the mics (if yours didn't come with one). Many people use Pelican cases for this, but, as always, there are more creative solutions.

Gaff tape (would avoid duct)

Post by: rowjimmytour on December 24, 2007, 05:41:25 PM: A leatherman multitask knife is a good idea especially if inflatable objects come flying at the taping section. Then you can play Jack The Ripper and slash the balls and all the wookies will back off.
Peace

ear plugs

Yes! And get several pairs. I have a tendency to loose/misplace them at shows (more than likely due to taking too much of my forgetting medication).

Post by: RobertNC on December 28, 2007, 02:23:00 PM: Ditto on the bungee cords. I almost never set up a stand on tripods at indoor shows anymore if I am in the seats. More secure, more room, people can move back and forth without kicking your stand over. It really surprises me more people don't carry them.
