I tried doing some searches, but I haven't found anything really conclusive=
to answer this question: Has anyone tried using an Alice microphone for fi=
eld recording?=0D

The reason I'm asking is that Jules Ryckebusch posted a link to an Instruc=
tables he wrote that details his build of an Alice-based MS microphone:=0D

Jules stuck three TSB-165 capsules in the mic body. One faces forward (pro=
viding mid), and the other two facing sideways and wired in series to creat=
e a figure-eight mic (providing side). Each mic has its own Alice board, al=
so installed in the mic body. The signals are fed out through a 5-pin XLR.=

This would make for a very compact, very light MS setup for field recordin=
g. For travel or for locations that require long hikes to reach, there's a =
lot of appeal here.=0D

But it would help to know if anyone else had tried using an Alice micropho=
ne for field recording, and what the potential pitfalls are.=0D
