hello klas
I for one don't claim to understand mic statistics and figures. on the
contrary, i'm trying to learn to understand by comparing mics, etc. One
reason i would find statistics and measurements useful is precisely so
that i can try the mics and see what the figures mean in practice.
it's not a theoretical question for me, and i did not intend to use the
information to make an easy purchasing decision, as i already bought a
Telinga and Twin Science mic (it arrived today).
Since I have your attention, can i also ask if you know of a supplier
who can sell me an adapter to go from the 7-pin socket on the Pro-6
handle to a 5-pin XLR male - i have a long 5-pin to 5-pin XLR lead
already and would like to use this instead of two regular cables, so i
am looking for something to replace the 7-pin to 2 * 5-pin xlr
y-splitter that comes with the Telinga.
thanks in anticipation
andy wilson
ps. i am sending this to the list rather than direct as mails to
from get get rejected as spam =3D:-0
