mkh30 Show me your MS rigs - specifically MKH30+MKH50/40
The Immoral Mr Teas replied to Ronen's topic in Equipment
Not MKH 30/50 series, but 8030/8050 etc ... You may want to take a peek at Roland's link in the 'Radius Windshields - mini alto' posted here on Equipment today. Perhaps not the greatest amount of dead air wind protection for the job but he does what we all want to try and crams a DMS rig inside a mini blimp (and of more actual interest perhaps for the mount suspension clip solution therein).

Thanks for this (once again!) Roland Jez

Posted today after 11.47am ... " And assuming you’re not doing anything illegal, why would “they” care about you specifically among five billion other cell phone users…? " " Plus, as soon as the 4th amendment doesn't matter to an individual because, hey, I'm not doing anything illegal, that is when tyranny gets a foothold. " ... And what about when one starts doing something illegal, ... like having a sex change?

+1 Good work DPA Jez

I'm sure it's just a trick of the light (or my screen?) but that looks like a two-wheeled cart with drawers about one inch deep Mattias ! Jez

Original Stelladat by Sonosax recorder and their users
The Immoral Mr Teas replied to Giorgio Foschi's topic in Equipment
It may interest you to know that Jim Tanenbaum wrote an instruction manual for the Stelladat, "Using A Stelladat in the Unreel World" covering everything up to software v5.00 and timecode v 2.44 in its 175+ pages, a companion volume to his "Using Timecode in the Reel World", back in the 1990s. I have the latter, not this volume (I haven't a Stelladat...) Heaven know where you might find a copy these days though! Jez -
Yeah, I had trouble understanding how they had backward-compatibly changed timecode to allow their 'stamp' to keep reclocking but its good to know (as an F8 owner) not to bother thinking about it any more! Thanks Roland! (Did you, btw, write up on any of this on your site or was it just personal time spent looking into the issue)? Jez

"DPA 2017 - New Shotgun Mic for 2023" thread from Derek, 3 pages back (on 'pute' - maybe further back on mobile: couple of months since last comment? Started about a year ago).

I'll suggest the other obvious - metal or wood with holes drilled in (for the sound) and foam (for the support). But for the quality suggested by the photo $300 is actually on a par or less than I would have originally guessed. J

No - cardioids will still give a forward facing (backward cancelling) pattern and may be chosen for 'front of stage' positioning for instance. I do say I like the design: basically tough enough to stand on or take a prop fall ... I think I'd have the capsules a little further back myself (especially if using Schoeps...) but the photo illustrates the use nicely enough. (Sorry Philip, still not answering your question)! Jez

Nagra Stories Sound-men won’t ever tell
The Immoral Mr Teas replied to JBond's topic in Images of Interest
I think I'm with Dela, Doug and everybody else here on this one. Do I really want to sell one of my Nagras to afford a book about them? I'm interested in the Stellavox book now however (if resale collector value hasn't already pushed that into the €350 territory ...?!?) Jez -
Neve (analogue) desks were a common sight in broadcast in the UK when I started out. They certainly weren't thought of as a 'music desk' although certain items catered differently for the film, the broadcast and the music markets. (I later mixed on the AMS Neve Logic (broadcast) desks which developed into the DFC (film) desks when other AMS desks serviced the music industry). Back to the pre-AMS Neve days (?) there used to be a really great looking 'on-set' location mixer used if I remember correctly by Nelson Stoll among others? I can't find a picture but I expect someone here either has an image or perhaps the unit itself ...? J

Hi Neil, now that the transcription is up for both parts I'll give these a read thanks (for others looking here for the first time Neil's link also provides a play button for the podcast itself). The earlier episodes look interesting too, not just 'creative' interviewees but technical and business too. Thanks for sharing your podcast with us and welcome to JWS! Jez

Zeppelin and dead cat suggestions for MKH - 50
