Sound Art Film Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Posted February 20, 2013 Thanks Matt for chiming in! Let me know if you have any questions! GL. Quote
Reg Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 Thanks for the detailed technique Paul - I have been enlightened! How do you find this technique (between shirt buttons) to work outdoors in low-medium wind conditions? There doesn't seem much room for some sort of wind buffer apart from shirt.... Also, is the paperclip in place so close over mount, that you have to unravel tape etc to remove tram? Or is there enough room with your technique to remove mic without disturbing mount? Quote
Reg Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 Oh, and how do you find it works under a cotton tshirt/hairy chest combo? Rhys Quote
S Tejada Posted January 19, 2015 Report Posted January 19, 2015 Great technique with that tape down accessory. It was always in my most likely to never be used kit. Glad I can finally put some life into it. Thanks for the tip. Quote
Sound Art Film Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Posted March 30, 2016 Reg, the setup wouldn't be my ideal setup for someone with a very hairy chest. You could turn the capsule to face outwards though in a pinch and along with mating down the hair with some lotion, it could very well work. Surprisingly, I haven't had issues with people outside and this setup with wind. If mounted on the chest, the layer/s of shirt block a bit of wind. Mounted between buttons offers less wind protection, but is still fine up until a pretty decent gust. Source Glad I can help bring that tape down accessory out of retirement Tejada! divp Quote
Mike G Posted July 9, 2017 Report Posted July 9, 2017 Hey Paul, thanks to your trick, my Trams are back to the game. Thank you for sharing this. Quote
mikewest Posted July 13, 2017 Report Posted July 13, 2017 Here I go! Yeah but- Love TRAMS since I bought them in 1979 Have even talked to Ted Rapp RIP The integral use of a TR50 is using the vampire clip Easy and quick to rig but most significant is facing the mike into the vampire clip that works as a high frequency HF resonator and boosts the high end under clothing Have you tried it and listened? I moved on to the Sonotrim that was suggested by Gerry Bruck of Post Horn Recordings He suggested a better capsule (again Swiss made) that had a more controlled response. Sonotrims are my first choice as they sound great and are easy to rig with the vampire. Yep COS-11's are great as a broadcasters mike but even with the rubber thing do not cut it (I've had several experienced boom ops rig then and realised the Sonotrim is better) mike Quote
mikewest Posted September 16, 2017 Report Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) Found this old topic Sure I have my way of applying TRAMS but now I only use Sonotrims One hint is to carry some fine wet & dry sandpaper to remove sharp edges from the vampire or body mount holder Yep and I often use B6 mikes under tee shirts as they are so low profile Also I have developed the perfect windshield for TRAMS used in very windy situations, it's not low profile but it works! mike Edited September 16, 2017 by mikewest addition Quote
