Ahhh, yes, the sound that ∗still∗ has the hair at the back of my neck
at full attention...

We were just discussing this on the MONEYPIT YahooGroup. I have a
couple of mics (Shure SM57 (another Fritz recommendation), Electro-
Voice N/D468 (was on close-out, not a bad bit of kit)) and we'll be
giving this a shot.

Ken: What kind of ins are there on the Bellaris? 1/4"? 3-prong mic
input? Both?
