Subject: Session, minidisc, boundary layer mic
Hello again, kind people, are any of you experienced with boundary layer microphones?

I have been using an AKS C562 BL for nearly ten years now to 'tape' guest lecturers for possible later reference and various other occasions where a transcription is needed, and I must say it works perfectly because it picks up practically any sound spoken in the room.

Every now and then we - our band - have recorded our rehearsals with two C562s connected to a c-recorder and now to a minidisc (both with auto level adj) for self criticism purposes, and again must admit that it works adequately enough.

Next step is to try it at a live session in a pub. Shouldn't be too complicated since the mics need only one square meter of table (or wall or any flat surface) and the minidisc is battery driven.

Now, has anybody done that already - or have heard to've been done, what d'ya say?
