I took one of them once to go record the SUI Scottish
Hilanders bagpipe band, but it was raining so we all
retired into a 20x40 quonset hut. With the sound of about
15 bagpipes all focused at the center of that thing by the
rounded roof, I plugged that mic into the line input on a
pretty good tandberg tape recorder that could do 15 ips,
and had to leave the line gain control down at about 1.5 on
a 0-10 scale. I think my tinnitus & carhart notches
started then. But I also got some quite usable recordings
they used as promo's for quite a while.
Aha, so the scottish run from rain :)
You happen to have an url for a picture of the Altec M-21
somewhere? Can't find one myself. Love to read your stories
and recollections, Gene.
