Studio Projects LSD2 fluffing

[§†∑∫åµÞ≥¥]

Pulled a sick recording of the Disco Biscuits tonight with the LSD2!  I have to listen to it more and get it on harddrive and to cd before I can really appreciate it, but driving home it sounded amazing.  Unless a recording is outstanding, I usually don't dig it too much on the ride home.  Taped from the section at 930 club, which is about 40' back and 10' LOC.  I can't believe the results i have heard so far.  Nice...very nice...

just making some notes here.... what config did you use?

[Nick's Picks]

why, XY at 90, of course.

Yup, yup!

That is the other great thing about this mic.  No f'ing around with two different mics and configs and all that.  I can honestly be up and running in under 5  minutes. Lastnight I was clamped on to someone's stand with 2 other pairs of mics.  I just made sure the caps were aligned the way I wanted them, clamped the shockmount and stuck the mic in, plugged in the xlr and just got out of the way while the other two tapers took like 15 minutes to set up and config thier mics.

[Nick's Picks]

really easy to deal with, agreed.

have you guys figured out a good way to carry the mic without the case? Someone suggested a poster tube but I haven't tried that yet.

I got a large size clear hard plastic pencil box from Staples and put some pieces of foam in it, works fine.  It should be available at all their stores.

I think I paid about $550 for it a few months ago.

as for carrying it, I stuff it in my bag w/the windscreen on and a cap over the DIN plug.  it stands up and is protected in my bag.

[oniontaper]

where are they $500.00

I asked Doug at soundpure he said $549.00

I'm getting one in a few weeks, I think.........

[Nick's Picks]

soundpure used to have them for 500 shipped.  the price went up a little bit, but its still worth it.
shit, it could be 1549 and still worth it.

you had to go and get me all excited with that '1549 and still worth it' comment 

now I'll have to wait impatiently till next Friday when I order, not to mention waiting for it to ship......

[Nick's Picks]

well...
seriously, i'm not full of shit on that.  shure, its IMO...fwiw and all that.  But i've owned a LOT of mics over the years, ranging in price from $100 > $5k.  This thing easily performs well beyond its cost.

I was reading the outdoor Blumlein thread and wondered how good the standard windscreen was, and whether I need to go shopping for dead rat fur. Experiences?
