Jeff DLB Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 I'm about to become a Minidisc user [first post]. I just ordered the Sony RH90 and the SoundPro BMC3 mics. (This will replace an aging cassette-based sytem of considerably more weight and bulk: Marantz PMD-430 & Uher CR-240 decks, Nakamichi CM-300 mics, Beyer 12ft stand.)I just noticed on another vendor's site that there also exist SP BMC2 mics that seem to have identical specs as BMC3 at a lower price (only notable diff I can see is plastic vs brass case). Is there a notable difference between BMC2 and BMC3? My vendor told me he is temporarily out of stock of BMC3 until tomorrow (supposedly), so I'm wondering whether to change my order or wait for the 3s.Thanks, and greetings to all,Jeff DLB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A440 Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 You're right--it looks like the only difference is in the housing. I use and love the BMC-2's with these clips:http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller...u=217592&is=REGwhich squeeze onto the end of the BMC-2's rubber housing. I don't think they would fit the BMC-3, so you would have to get the more expensive clips offered by SoundProfessionals. If you're in the US, or a lot of other countries, you don't need to go through a vendor: you can just go to www.soundprofessionals.com . Or nab the BMC-2 from Sound Professionals on Ebay.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff DLB Posted May 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 only notable diff I can see is plastic vs brass case←I just found another difference (answering my own question): the BMC3s have a different (and better, for me) clip available.
