sandall Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 It really needs a great big foam ball in a contrasting colour to really show it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitlane Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Sorry, couldn't see any mics. They were hidden so well. Invisible, basically. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fincaman Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 I've emailed them but they don't know which mics they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.elsbury Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 What a shame? You'd think they would know as they did the show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbsy Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Well, I can tell you they don't like any of the top of the line Sennheiser, DPA or Earthworks versions or even the cheap but useable imitations of the foregoing. I'm not sure why you'd worry about finding anything so visually obtrusive but if I was going to look, I'd be checking brands aimed at tour guides and corporate presentations.

cedd Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I thought for a while that they were the ones from Audix, but these are more obtrusive. If it's the look that you're wanting then the Audix HT5 might be what you're after. Might be worth doing some digging to see what was used on the early productions of RENT - they had very obvious headset microphones that were very much used as part of the "look" of the piece. The Jesus Christ Superstar stadium tour also used very obviously pronounced headsets, though of course it's a very different kind of production.

bruce Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 They look a bit like (but are not!) some old Sennheiser frames that I once had, which could be used to convert a MKE2 or similar to a headworn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fincaman Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 There are times when you want to hide head mics I agree but I like these as they seem to be full on rock style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz339 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I suspect many of us have, certainly before the ready availabilty of headset mics, made similar with available mics (MKE2s), coathangers and heatshrink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, they are indeed the Sennheiser NB2 I don't miss these, the metal inside the rubber always seemed to break quite easily as cast members found ever more weird and wonderful shapes to bend them into!

GR1 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Yes they are the NB2. They are also available in pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
