Thank you Doug. That does mean a lot to amateurs like me who try to
do stuff in a group of many professionals like are here.
I can't say this was a cheap mic as it is a stock crown sass-p that I
got on e-bay.
I don't plan on a modification like Lang performed as I find this
very useful in its original design for louder sounds. My wolves
turned out great with it as well. Its spec is a max sound pressure
of 150 db.
I would still consider looking at other crown pzm's on e-bay rated at
150 db spl as they seem to sell pretty cheap in the mono form. I do
not have the background to know if a dynamic would be a better
choice, but the small pickup of a pzm makes the response very flat.
Now I am gone for a week of fun.
