I imagine that it's the fact that the mic is
of a
decent quality that makes it expensive, not the fact that it's ceiling
mounted.
In fact, I suppose you can probably mount it wherever you want - though
high-up
is probably better.
I find myself in a similar position. It's a
lot of
money to spend just to "try out" something which you may or may not decide
to
expand further. That said, I'm not sure how important the limiter/gates
actually
are in a set-up - and cutting them out would probably cut a zero off here
or
there from the price.... Presumably if you've only got a few mics (or even
just
one for testing) you wouldn't require a limiter at all. Even so, if a
minimum
set-up is the beautiful 8-channel RM81 from LetsAutomate + a ceiling
microphone
you're still talking about £220 just to see what kind of results you're
going to
get.
Personally, I'm planning to buy a couple of
Maplin
condenser mics and a cheap (£20 or so) passive mixer to put together a
simple
little set-up and see what kind of results I can get. Then, if I'm feeling
lucky, I can expand it later with a decent mixer and the ceiling mics with
phantom power.
Am I making any sense here? Hmmm. Probably no
less
than usual, anyway.
Oliver.

Its a lot of money to waste if it does not work, I know
the
mike on the PC is not very good. Any ideas why the ceiling mikes are so
expensive?
