If this isn't it, it's very close. On-Stage Stands MS7701B Euro Boom Microphone Stand http://www.sweetwater.com/store/search.php?s=On-Stage+Stands+MS7701B+Euro+Boom+Microphone+Stand&Go=Search I can get the real number. As I recall the last time I did this, my exact model number isn't available a...

As a first pass (and I haven't totaled the bux yet), two directional Shure SM58 microphones (or equivalent ES-58s), shock mounts and blast filters. You already have or are planning on mic stands and booms. I can't remember the model number of my stands, but they work without the heavy base. Highly r...

I don't agree. If you have an SSD, the (laptop) computer doesn't heat up and make noise and there's no proble...

It was a great help that you mentioned that this is a directional mike. Even better when flynwill mentioned it. I use furniture moving pads. http://www.kozco.com/pictures/boothFinished/laptop-mic.jpg Next test do a ten second performance like this: Hold your breath and don't move for two seconds an...
