Bob: >The Shure dynamics (the stick mikes you frequently see on the TV news) are work horses. It's been said that you can hammer nails with them. Although I've never tried that. We do not hammer nails with our Sennheiser's <BG>.< Er–actually, *I* did, once w/a Sennheiser…my producer had me do it to prove a point about dynamic mikes in a training course <g>… What you're saying about Shures and Sennheisers are very true, but I assumed that, given the parties involved were shooting w/TR-101s, they were looking for a decent cheap solution–which is why I said I'd gotten decent results w/RS mikes. That also goes for your comment about balanced lines vs. unbalanced lines–while they're preferable, they're also more expensive and a bit clunky w/the extra equipment for a prosumer camcorder. Thanks for the clarification! Tim
