STREAMLINING MIC DREAMS

Recent posts and one-on-one discussions have included references to the various obstructions found on the surfaces of harpmics that can cause practical problems with their workability (where hand-held harp's concerned). From the minimal (SHURE 520 family) to the extreme (ASTATIC 200 family), these castings never considered the hand-held options utilized by jockeys of the Tin Sandwich. Some mic techs have even made a specialty of modifying the bodies of virtually unusable mics, rendering them harp-specific monsters.
Got a mic project that will necessitate body mods or radical amputation? Got a procedural question? Let me know. I'll be your consulting physician...
