Boy you've got that right Mark7... these are pretty neat times were living in. :) These little mic's totally rock too.
 
I'll say! Now, if only someone'd bring out a 4/6/8 channel mixer with three or four bands of sweep eq at the <=$500 price point I'd be ecstatic. :D

Also, I wonder how much it cost Feilo to make them... hummm.
Shreve audio was probably selling those at cost to call attention to their website. "Retail" vendors do this from time to time. This practice is also sometimes used by vendors, distributors, and manufacturers alike to "hurt" the competition.

My $0.02, anyway.

Another reason could be that they had overstock and the bills were due… You just never know!
 
Good point Flatpicker, and you very well may be right... thanks. 8th street was matching their price at the time.. so, I still wonder. :D
 
shockmounts, etc.

ausrock--actually, it wasn't exactly cross-stich hoops i used, at least, not in the traditional 2-piece hoop sense. these had a hard plastic inner ring and a rubber outer ring, which stretched real nicely over the elastics. in fact, i chose these over the plastic hoops which were right next to em. either way, i used the 3in size and that seems to have done a fine job. i actually have two of them against each other (per mic) which holds a little more firmly and gives the clip holder something a little more substantial to hold onto. we'll have to see what the longevity of the elastics is, but at ~$2 for 30 of em, i can go through a few sets before it becomes an expense. ;-) not a bad $6 investment.

DJL--yep, i more or less stole the idea from tapeop and merged it with the DIY "hoop and pantyhose" pop shield idea. imo, it works better than the pvc-only idea, and looks better too.....or at least, it will once i paint it all black. ;-) looks a little more "professional", i think....at least until you examine it a bit more closely and see that it's the boy scout in me coming out. i also wish i'd bought more and sold them for a profit on ebay, but frankly, i haven't seen too many 603's moving on there lately. i wonder if the increase won't actually bite em in the ass.

<<Also, I wonder how much it cost Feilo to make them... hummm.>>

a lot less than it would have for me to have made them, and that's all that matters when you boil it down, ya know?
