Very helpful, thanks. I may just get the regular BMC-2 mics with clips and put them on my hat. My only real concern is getting caught. How easy would it be to sneak a MD recorder, 10 md discs, a battery box, and the BMC-2 mics through the gate? Once I'm inside, I'm not too worried given all the people that will be there.

I'm going to Lollapalooza this year, and I may try to tape some of the shows. I haven't ever taped before. After digging around on this site (which is awesome, by the way), I've determined that I need to buy mics (obviously) and a battery box. The trip itself is costing me lots of money, so I'd like to do this for as cheap as possible ($100 - $150). I already have an old Sony MZ-N505, and I'm going to run mics through a battery box and into the line-in (optical) input. I plan on buying Sound Professional SP-HMC-1 mics: http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/...&type=store and a battery box: http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/...item/SP-SPSB-10 I plan on wearing the headphone mounted mics around my neck, as these will have to be stealth recordings. I know the quality won't be awesome, but will this at least produce a decent, listenable recording? If not, I'll probably just leave the stuff at home and not worry about it.
