Hardware

Sennheiser MKE-300 mic.  The battery is good for over 200 hours.

Honda 5369

the VX2000 uses "plug-in power" unbalanced mics. The Shure SM-58 is a "low-impedance  balanced signal".  That's why you need a Beachtek to connect it to the VX-2000.

I believe the Shure SM58 is a "dynamic" mic, whereas the Audio Technica's are "condenser" mics.

The wireless mics are Sennheiser EW112P UHF wireless.  The frequency range is 518-550 MHz.  The CH receiver is 7.. - 750 (?)

My DVD burner is an LG-4082-B 8X with bios upgraded top A407?

The new burner on "Groucho" is LG GSA-4163B 16X.

Danielle's car stereo is an Alpine CDM 9823.  Purchased in spring 2004.

The 4runner stereo  is an Alpine ...

Consider-- toy-- The Archos AV420 video and sound recorder.  Good reviews, can record wav, but needs a pre-amp with it.  Interesting device.

Condenser vs.

A CD cover is exactly 12 cm by 12 cm
or 4 3/4 x 4 3/4.

On High Definition ... HD-ready TV sets are HD TV sets-- they are just missing the HD tuner, so you would need some other source for the HD signal (eg. a cable box).

Recommended:

Windscreens:  Lightwave "Equalizer"

Very recommended Headphones: Sennheiser HD 600.
