I like to tell the tale of being in high school youth symphony, when Fred Crok and company from KKHI had two burly fellas carry each half of an Ampex 300 per...
With only 5,6 mV / Pa I am certain that you get MD preamp noise. You need too much gain. That is what I would like to discover: At which output / Pa does a...
i have a kudelski-built perfectone mono recorder - i think it predates the nagras. it was built for bbc so it has ppm meters and the recorder weights as much...
Ah, the good old days Bernie!! 168lbs in weight to carry was hard on the wife's shoulders while I carried the six-pack, I could never understand why she...
Do you think we'll be able to get a sensitivity number or even an accurate range of mV/Pa : dbB(A) combinations that will apply to DAT/MD/HiMD mic preamp's in...
Thanks Martyn, I passed your message on thus: "This little chap is good for the price," says Martyn. So I would hope that it is more reasonable than the 722....

Hello Bernie, Thank you for you advice on recording equipment. I have passed it on to the people concerned - Drs Aila Keto and Keith Scott, respectively ...

Syd, may I repost this beautiful letter on the Muir Woods elist for the volunteers doing the field work? I'm sure they will be inspired by how it is making...
Has anyone here had a chance to demo the Sennheiser MKH 418-s? It's a stereo, mid-side hypercardiod/shotgun mike, and I'm wondering how favorably it compares...
Lou, you are most welcome to do so. Thank you for your kind words. I wish your volunteers all possible success. I visited Muir Woods, July 29, 1967. Part of...

Back in the spring/summer of 04, we tested the 418 and found it useful for radio/tv production but not for ambient soundscapes...particularly of the natural...
Hi Bernie, and thanks for the feedback. I hoped you might have looked into this one already! ;-) I did notice a big difference in the noise specs of the 418,...
If you don't want to spend big bucks on something like a Sound Devices 302, you can find a used Sound Devices MP-2 preamp for around $350. It has 2 channels of...
Does anyone know of a FLAC plug-in for Audition or Like? A stand alone program would be OK too.... Thanks Martyn **************************************** ...
... Yes and Bernie's field tests are consistent with the published specs. (Odd that Sennheiser paired a Side mic with much higher noise and lower output. There...
Dear all Sorry it has taken me till now to reply but the kids have kept me busy! Thanks very much for your ideas and help! I took the kids on a soundwalk and...
... That cheap now?! The M-S monitoring in the MP2 is okay,.. I find that when I bring the side mic up for good saturation, the stereo image in the headphone...
... True it's not "cheap", but this was in a thread talking about an MS setup with MKH30/40's. Anyone who is spending $2000+ on a pair of mics could probably...
I heard that AEA will have a MS monitoring solution at the NY AES convention. I am not sure how fast you will see actual production units, however. They used...
xlr-5 but with a cable breaks out to two discrete xlr-3's. Right Bernie? That would be what the video folks would expect too. BTW, I didn't see mention of...
Sorry, I was thinking of your ambient pieces. For truly isolating sounds, a dish is profound a shotgun is okay. Paul Dickinson uses his Telinga in cities all...
Sorry, I meant that $350 is a great bargain for an MP2 with new MixPres going for ~$850. And no extra box if one does need a external pre. Rob D. ... -- Rob...
... I suspect this refers to what I call "source impedance balanced." I understand that's how Neumann mics are wired. It's what I do with the outputs on my...
Thanks for the description, Dan. Makes perfect sense! Does it also mean if wired unbalanced it does not matter if pin 3 is grounded or unconnected? Would one...
