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?
