The Low Volta Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 hi all,I've been recording interviews and lectures aplenty with my nh900 and my sony mono mic... but now I feel it's time to move on to concert recording! I've read a lot of good things about the SP-BMC-2 stereo mics, especially in combination with a battery box and I'm really tempted to buy 'em...but alas I live in Belgium and reckon the SP-BMC-2 mic/ SP-SPSB-6 battery box with bass roll-off will cost me about $173,62 with shipping and taxes (I'm not really sure about the taxes though, could be a little bit less)...My question to you all, would this still be a decent price?And especially to all the EU-members of MDCF or MDcenter.nl..., do any of you guys now of ( r)etailers with similar products within the EU, so I wouldn't have to pay inport taxes?thanksP.S.: to kurisu (and all other mods)... I'm sorry for kinda doubleposting (I DID rewrite it though ) but it's quite an urgent question and I haven't had an answer yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 You could try www.soundman.de , a German (I think) binaural mic manufacturer. The website is pretty confusing, but they do have distributors in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 (edited) I've heard good things about Soundman mics, but they will probably cost you more than ordering from Sound Pros.I think your best bet is to order direct from Sound Pros (I did). Alternatively - look in the Yard Sale section over at http://taperssection.com - I picked up a set of Core Sound Binaurals and Bbox from there at a very good price (you will need to register to post messages/send private message). Or even Ebay. Edited April 18, 2005 by Wedge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 thanks for the reactions guys,yes, those Soundman mics sure look good, but a bit too expensive I'm afraid and I would still have to import (they're still looking for a Belgian distributor, now there's an option ) ...I've mailed the Belgian customs (again) for some info, but even if they won't answer (also AGAIN) it still looks like I'm going for the SoundPro stuff in the end (even with import taxes, I'll probably won't do that bad a deal, as the dollar is very cheap here at the moment)so thanks again and see you on MDCF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
