What's next, how do I change my diaper? I'd love to see some of the responses if someone posted something like this on Keyboard Corner. Just sayin'. chas Edited by cgiles (09/04/17 02:11 PM) _________________________ "Faith means not wanting to know what is true." [Nietzsche]

tony mads usa Senior Member Registered: 01/16/02 Posts: 14376 Loc: East Greenwich RI USA	Originally Posted By Beakybird I've been using the Crown CM311A for over 15 years. I use a Tupperware type of container without padding. I also keep my mic cable and keyboard A/C adapter in the container, and that probably provides some cushioning for the mic. I usually go about 4 years between mic repairs, and I do over 400 shows per year. I don't think I would have better results with a padded mic container. For my needs, this would create more bulk and add time to my setup and take down. Just one minute times 400 shows = 6 hours and 40 minutes of time per year. I can understand how someone who is doing 400 gigs a year would be looking to cut every minute of set up-break down time as possible, so I guess if using a Tupperware container works helps with that, then fine ... What I had to smile about was the calculation of the 6 hours and 40 minutes of time "saved" per year ... Does one save "Time in a Bottle" (to use the title of one of the late Jim Croce's songs) ? ... how are those 6 hours and 40 minutes spent? ... does one play a couple more gigs in that time? Just wonderin' ... DISCLAIMER - the above was written with tongue firmly planted in cheek ... BTW ... I have a nephew who once commented about his dad who was always making a list of stores to go to when he went out so he would "save a trip" ... my nephew wondered where his father put all those "saved trips" ... he was concerned that one day he would open a closet and all those "saved trips" would come falling out on top of him ... _________________________ t.

Tony, You have 11,115 post on General arranger. By my calculations you could have saved 23 days by not posting. I can't imagine all the time I could have saved if I didn't have the internet. Jerry

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15560 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	Geeze, I just noticed that I have actually posted more than Tony M - WOW! A real milestone for me. However, Tony found time to go to Europe I found time to sail the entire east coast, and we both posted during those trips. The only difference is that I was the captain of my ship, while tony was a passenger. All the best, Gary _________________________ PSR-S950, TC Helicon Harmony-M, Digitech VR, Samson Q7, Sennheiser E855, Custom Console, and lots of other silly stuff!
