Re: Contact Microphones

Allan,
regarding contact microphones, I often use the GLM-100 from CROWN.......a
miniature omnidirectional microphone which sounds really great!
And its cheap.....don't remember the price, but its not more than 100-150
dollars...thats for sure!
I use it for violoncello, percussion and percussion "tools" like bottles
etc. etc.
There might be a webpage, but in any case here is the complete address of
CROWN:
Crown International Inc.
P.O. Box 1000
Elkhart, IN 46515-1000
Tel: 219/294-8000
Fax: 219/294-8FAX

P.S. no need for a preamp, but needs phantom power supply (no problem with
Mackie1202)

See you,
Daniel
