Hi August

Yes - it will be great to hear from the Oakland stream again.

This might be a good time to talk about Pi's:

We have been working on Pi streaming and now have 2 stable and good approaches:

1. Mono over ethernet using Raspberry Pi Version B, Icicle from Blue Microphones and XLR microphone.

2. Stereo over wifi using Pi Version B, Edimax Wifi Adapter, Griffin iMic and stereo electret condenser microphones [mono would also work].

Both these approaches require minimal setup and are designed for long term trouble-free operation.

We can help with setup and/or send you a free pre-configured SD Card with everything you need on it.

I just so happen to have a griffin iMic laying around. Maybe I will
just try that out with the old box.

Any suggestions for a mic?

I have an old iMic (it's silver..), which doesn't work well because you can't adjust the gain on it, unlike with the new ones. But can't hurt to try. Let us know how you get on..

You can use stereo elecret condensers. I have been testing with a pair of stereo omnis (binaurals), which work fine. The best option is likely to be based on the EM-172 capsules from Primo - as recommended by Udo Noll et al eg here. You can order 10 from the manufacturer or in kit form eg from felmicamps.. They cost around €7. We're looking at making some up.
