Sounds like DIY time!

(Coat-hanger wire, rubber bands etc.)


I cannot hang the rig from the ceiling but I can hang it from the boom on my large studio mic stand which is what I now do with the Blumlein.

I will get some carbon fiber bits and fashion some sort of cage or whatever to do this. If I can get the DMS to work at this site I can use it anywhere. I have been mic'ing these guys for a couple of years now with only middling success. It is a wonderful challenge. The constant problem is getting just the musicians and not the crowd which is right outside the performers. The crowd is drinking and eating burgers and chattiing, applauding at the end of each number, or almost each number. This is not a pro performance but it is a challenge. And as I said before, it is a fun night out and a chance to hear some pretty good music, eat a burger and relax. Now if I could just do what I am going there for: get a good recording!


12AX7! I had more than one amp with those in there. Push-pull pentodes?
