Stealth Recording Success

Well, my first stealth run with my SP mini omni mics and the RS attenuator trick worked great last night in stormy Myrtle Beach.

I recorded Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson last night. I had the RH910 stowed away. I should have brought the RH10 along but the weather was rainy and I picked the easier of the 2 to replace. Plus, the security checks were enforced but I made it through intact.

I placed the mics on the front of my shirt with one facing up and one facing down. That cut out a great deal of crowd noise and allowed for a great pickup pattern. I am very pleased with the sound. Only a few crowd "farts" were noticed.

I had the omnis connected to the RS volume control attenuator going mic input on 20/30. The levels were great and only a hint of too much level when Bob and his band were cranking it but nothing near clipping. I did normalize Willie but the Bob was plenty loud.

I might stick a snippet on the gallery for folks to enjoy. Thanks to A440 for the attenuator trick! Worked like a charm with my mini SP omni mics. I could have taken the Reactive Sounds SPA-2 in with me but the RS cable is a whole lot cheaper to replace if the weather gets nasty or the security gets stupid...

Now, if I only had my 40ELK remote again, my stealth setup would be perfect. Looks like I gotta save my pennies again... rolleyes.gif
