Seth ------------------------------ From: pherbig@purina.com Subject: RE: Source for ORTF/XY mounts Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2002 11:54:00 -0600 Try the SabraSom mount from Taylor at The Sound Room.... http://www.sound-room.com/mofcart/ST2.html Pete ------------------------------ From: "Chris Black" Subject: Active Cable Questions Date: Fri, 01 Nov 2002 13:07:17 -0500 Couple of questions about active cables: 1) Does an active cable negate the need for the mic body? I believe this is so for the Schoeps Collettes and the kc5 cables, but don't know about the Neumann LC3 cables and the similar MBHO setup. For example, do I need the km100 bodies if I have the active cable setup, the ak50 caps and a preamp? Is the DPA system an active cable system (e.g. 4021s and 4022s)? 2) Is there audible difference in recordings with the bodies and those without? My thoughts are that I'd like to use the same rig for both stealthing and section taping but would certainly like to avoid the costs of the mic bodies if they're not entirely necessary (with the understanding that the active cables are themselves quite expensive). Any help, suggestions, online tutorials would be greatly appreciated. If you prefer to contact me privately, please do so to: chris_melas@hotmail.com. Thanks!

They should always specify mics, location, etc. Ask me if I want them to use my name. (I generally don't care, and people who know me can often identify me by the rig anyway.)

The *one* time I forget to do a load check, the tape misloads. Lots to trade. TIA. -Eugene ------------------------------ From: Mathias Rombach Subject: Re: Source for ORTF/XY mounts Date: Fri, 01 Nov 2002 21:17:43 +0100 Hy Steve, congratulations, I use the same mics for recording. I use not a Neumann mount for ORTF. They want to much money. I don´t know exactly the supplier for my mount but I can get infos for you. There is also on the König&Meyer website (www.k-m.de) a mount with the number 235. This would be right for you. I think you should be able to set the 90 degree between the mics with it too. Mathias ------------------------------ From: "DRider" Subject: Re: Patcher Etiquette Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2002 18:18:34 -0500 Jason, If someone patches out of you, they should put in "your info" if they trade. They may add some more details if they are really particular, such as saying their source is a patch master. But that is not really necessary. If they have a list, it will become obvious that they are a patcher. Not many people own a pair of Schoeps and Neumanns and MBHO's etc......... Most people that I know would want to know if it was an analog patch, should that be the case......... Some people forget to ask and some people just don't care. I would say that forgetting is more common than not caring. Stress, time allotments, access to the section, security and the amount of functioning brain cells at the time can all play a role in the "Mr. Short-Term Memory" factor. Chances are, if a person forgets one time and they like the sound of your mics, they won't forget to ask the second time they see you..... ") I tend to practice the "ask me and I'll tell you" motto. If it's a really relaxed atmosphere and there's plenty of time before the show, I may ask them if they want the source info. If it's a guy that has managed to make it to the section and he has security breathing down his neck, I will write it on the label to help him out. If you carry a ballpoint pen to label your tapes at shows, break yourself of that habit right away. Use some type of felt-tip or sharpie instead. The ink in a ballpoint can flake when it dries and cause problems w/ your tape. Just find your level of comfort and deal w/ it on a case by case basis. The friendly tapers w/ the phatty rigs get the most patchers. Take on what you can handle, but don't overdo it. Hope this helps!

Should they put in your information as the source, or leave it out, or anything else? ------------------------------ From: jeff travitz Subject: iso kcy cable or just the ends Date: Fri, 01 Nov 2002 18:17:26 -0500 looking for a kcy cable any length for schoeps need just the part that caps screw into to. But if you got a cable will take whole thing. Even if cable is no good as long as the part the caps screw onto is good I'll take it ------------------------------ From: "Ryan" Subject: Furman power conditioner question (NDC) Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2002 21:21:01 -0600 Sorry for the non-dat post here but I figured your a knowledgable groups. I have an old Furman rack mounted power conditioner that I am using to power my TV set, reciever and vcr now. I had a bit of problem with AC noise leaking into my TV in the form of very short and minor burst of static that is visible when the washer, dryer and dishwasher were cycling. All of which are on their own circuits in our panel which is why this doesnt make much sense to me since they wouldnt be drawing extra power off the circuit my TV is on. Im guessing this is caused by RFI/EMI interference. The conditioners manuel says its a surge transiet supressor with an RFI/EMI interfernce filter. Anyhow, I am hoping this has solved this minor annoyance of mine. My concern is, is there any hazard in having this conditioner not rack mounted and mearly sitting level in the TV cabinet? Perhaps because of heat of some kind? I figure its gotta be safer than your average temporary power tap surge protector. Anyhow, if someone is familar with this non-DAT inquiry, please advise. -Ryan ------------------------------ ** FOR YOUR REFERENCE ** To unsubscribe from this digest, please send email to dat-heads-unsubscribe@datheads.phish.net If your email address has changed, you may (optionally) send the message to dat-heads-unsubscribe-oldaddress=olddomain@datheads.phish.net and the old address will be removed.
