Good to hear from you.

It would be great to get the old N Carolina stream back up and running - maybe for the Reveil broadcast at start of May..

We are using the Primo EM-172 capsule or its replacement the EM-272 to make up microphones. To use with 48V Phantom you can do a simple mod with 1 resisor and 1 capacitor, as described here:

You can buy the mics made up from micbooster eg here:

You can mount these in the walls of a box such as the Dribox (sold in US as Sockitbox), which protects all the equipment and gives some separation between the channels. It works well but is a bit of work to build.

An alternative is to change approach and make a smaller lower power device using a Pi and the Hifiberry ADC Pro soundcard or the (currently waiting for new stock) IQ Audio Codec Zero. They supply PIP.

You can also use the cheaper and good AOM-5024L-HD-R capsule from PUI

These last approaches are from Udo Noll, who's been using them very successfully.

Check if you find somebody to colaborate with on the setup or let me know and I can help.

Hi:

I was recently told that the neighbors have become uncomfortable with my microphone setup back at the North Carolina house, which hasn't been online in a few months due to technical issues that I can't fix from here. It's a bit of a large setup -- a pair of cardioid microphones in a rough ORTF pattern connected to a Behringer UMC-202. They have withstood the elements for over 11 years, and I like the stereo image that pattern provides. I've never been too much of a fan of spaced omni pairs without some sort of baffle between them, though I'm sure I could probably get a better SNR with some small condensers.

So, my question is, what are you guys doing for stealth setups with good stereo imaging, low noise, good SNR and protection from wind and rain?

Keep in mind I'm not so good with hardware and will probably need someone to design/build stuff if required. I'd like to get this thing back online again.
