Just Some Random Thoughts And Miscellaneous Items

Just Some Random Thoughts And Miscellaneous Items


The final version of SoundChaser Expert is now available. It is version 1.0, from Cyberio.
If you already own an Ultramic microphone from Dodotronic - You may download, and try out the software free, for 15 days. Looks interesting. I like the way it automatically uninstalls the older version before installing the new one - All during the same process. Again, you should have a look at this software, if you are considering the purchase of an UltraMic from Dodotronic.

--------------------------------------------

I discovered an After-market accessory for the Batlogger M from Elekon.

As you may recall, I was a little concerned about keeping the microphone (element) safe and dry, etc. Elekon assured me that the mic capsule is not naturally prone to damage; and that the only thing to watch out for, was water. I was still a little "worried". So, I did some surfing around on e-bay, among other places. I had a feeling that it wouldnt be too difficult to find an inexpensive solution, to set my mind at ease. And, I finally came up with these (to try-out & use on the loaner unit) -

(This is the Sellers photo of the "wind screens")

They are known as " YPA MMW1 Foam Windscreen Windshield for DPA Microphones"
Here is the listing of the item on e-bay. It is a package of 5 foam wind screens - Link

I didnt mind buying these to be used on the loaner. Especially since any that are left over will come in very handy on my DIY microphone projects. It takes some time to slowly stretch one of these, to get it to finally fit onto the Batlogger Ms microphone. Im sure I can slide it down even further - There is more room in the wind shield. In any case, I feel a bit less "nervous" now.

(I believe I could get the foam even further down - For a neater look)
