Thanks George Rue ------------------------------ From: Bill Shaw Subject: RE: Theoretical Placement (3:1 Rule) [or why to use good mics in Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2005 16:59:03 -0800 Well the obvious answer, to me anyway, is to get the best tape possible! I do see your point that something bad could happen, but still, if ya gots the gear, use it! Myself, I have a pair of KM140's. I used to have a pair of sonics that I sometimes used, more out of laziness than fear of the 140's getting damaged. Anyway now the sonics are history, so pretty much anywhere I tape, I'm using the 140's. Whether it's a smoky bar or an outdoor festival, I guess I'll take my chances. Nothing like living on the edge! ;-) > From: "Martin" > Subject: Theoretical Placement (3:1 Rule) > Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2005 17:47:27 -0500 > > Colin brought up the point about dance floor placement in an > e-mail to me. > I forget some venues are rowdier than others.

It is used, but in near mint condition with only a very few tiny cosmetic blemishes. It functions flawlessly and was just recently returned to Schoeps for brand new capacitors and a clean bill of health. It will do both stereo and mid-side. It is extremely portable and stealthable weighing only about 1.5lbs and taking up the space of an M1. I used it in my Schoeps mk4/21h>kc5>vms52ub>ad2k+>m1 rig. I mounted the VMS and M1 side-by-side on top of the ad2k+ making the whole rig the size of a box of tissues. The sound is what you expect from Schoeps. I can supply photos or sample recordings to anybody interested. Specifications - Runs on AA batteries or 9-16VDC external (not included) - Power meter and low battery light. - Dimensions (WxHxL) = 3.75"x1.5"x5.5" about the size of an M1, extremely stealthable - Selectable 20,30,40dB gain - L(M)/R(S) XLR input - 4xBNC-Coax input/output: L/R stereo, M+S=L and M+S=R out I thought I'd entertain offers here before going the ebay route. I'll ship worldwide; buyer pays insured shipping. Serious offers and inquiries only please. Thanks, Kurt __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - now with 250MB free storage.
