TideBleach Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Will these Giant Squid Omnidirectional Powered Stereo Mics work in a loud live music setting outdoor and indoor? most of the time i'll be up close the the stage so i need to know if these can handle the sound pressure. also if i get these should i get the fixed bassroll off since it doesnt cost more?

SPL is nowhere to be found in the specifications, it would be good to ask the company owner himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Listen to the samples on that page, which all use bass rolloff. They're pitiful. The bass rolloff makes them sound all tinny, like a clock radio, because there's not enough bass and too much midrange. You're better off without the bass rolloff and running them into Line In or into Mic-In with an attenuator (Radio Shack Headphone Volume Control, $6.59, see the pinned thread at the top of this topic.) With the battery box they should be able to handle the volume--it's the MD's mic preamp you have to worry about first. There are live recordings in the Gallery (top of this page) and at the www.yahoo.com mailbox livefrommd, password 1minidisc1 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff DLB Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Listen to the samples on that page, which all use bass rolloff. They're pitiful. Agreed. However, thanks to those samples I just now discovered (I gotta get out more) that Robert Plant plays Morning Dew, one of my favorite tunes. Definitely a cover of Tim Rose's 1967 version, rather than the Grateful Dead (or Bonnie Dobson), but it's still nice that song is getting played.-Jeff DLB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
