Yeah, Lang. The older I get, the lighter I like to travel. Now if
only we can get these damned flash card technologies in place so we
can do away with tape, disks, and moving parts in the field, that'll
'bout do it for me. Then I can die in peace.

>>Soon, we will be field testing one of Sennheiser's new M-S mic
>>systems for the factory, the MKH 148S, throughout the coming spring
>>and early summer months. Using combos of new technologies, this
>>relatively new mic offers many advantages over other systems. Reduced
>>to one convenient mike tube, the Mid component consists of a highly
>>sensitive super-cardioid pattern (for directionality), and the Side
>>component is likewise highly sensitive with both components being
>>extremely noise-free and humidity resistant. This model slightly
>>exceeds the specs of most other Sennheiser MKH systems, a claim which
>>we find sort of amazing. The factory specs the new mic out (flat) at
>>40Hz - 20kHz. At $1600USD, it ain't cheap, but hell, we only live
>>once.
>>
>>I'll keep you posted on what we find.
