Ahh. . . I should have known that a build your own ribbon mic kit might be a liitle too good to be true. It does look like a nice deal, though.

Thanks, folks!

Advice from chilly Maine...

...make sure the wall you mount to is not very cold - TubeTak has a really hard time sticking to it!

Yeah - I imagined I'd put on a favorite album and start putting them up - see how the sound changes as I go.

Thanks!

Bass Traps

I have just received an Auralex package containing 4 LENRD Bass traps. My room is about 11' x 12' with 8-9' ceilings. What I'm wondering is this: Will I be best served by placing them in each of the four UPPER corners, two in each FRONT UPPER corner or two in each FRONT corner, but in the middle of ...

I have the 002R and really like it (except for the power harness failure during a gig - Digi overnighted the kit - cheers!). I plan to get the Command 8 for a couple of reasons, #1 being my obsession with x.5s and x.0s where volume fader settings are concerned - 5s and 10s with pans. I can't seem to...

I'm not sure if they run on 6.4, but the URS "N" and "A" series are excellent. A little pricey but the most musical EQ plug-ins I've found.

Thanks for all the help everyone! Glad to know there are others dealing with the same questions I have. I solved my ground problem by wiring from pin 1 to the ground tab of the XLR in the mic. I also had trouble getting the right caps: 1/4w for the 1000pF. The only 10uF I could find for the power su...

Grounding issue with Tape Op Omnis

Built one last night - very easy to do - but it's humming when I touch the metal of the microphone - quiet, but definitely there. I wondered about just running a line from pin 1 to the "ground tab" of the XLR. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I dig the RNP - clean signal, loads of headroom - nothing to get excited about but a good option to have around. I have two RNC's and I use them; I like them - I'm curious about the RNLA for a bit more "color" - any thoughts. . . Thom?

Does anyone know of a suitable replacement for the Panasonic wm-60ay which is discontinued?

Thanks!
