Small Mic To Plug Into Tie Line Patch

[priorytools]

Hi all . .

I'm trying to source a small, like 2 inch, mic to plug straight into a tie lines patch . .
Anyone got any suggestions ?

Are you talking about on a tt bay? I've never seen anything that would do that(maybe if you explain why, someone will have another solution). If its a quarter inch bay, an XLR-TRS adapter might work with a small condenser mic, but I still don't imagine anything in the size you describe.

Hi Albee.
Thanks for your reply.
No, not TT.
I mean the xlr mic / line inputs in rack panels out in the live areas
So essentially it’s just a stubby little listen mic plugged straight into that tie line patch.

These things are amazing, if probably a little too sensitive for a live studio area. But amazing OMNI Mics. (yes, currently sold out).

Now that I understand the purpose, you might look into a boundary mic like the Shure SM-91 or Crown PCC-160. While these two might be too pricey, there are others from other makers at much lower prices(search eBay for boundary microphone and see what pops up. I used several PCC-160's(1 on my control room desk, one on the producer's desk and one on the ceiling of the drum booth) and they worked great. I had an EV model(sorry I can't remember what model it was) on the wall of my main room. All fed AUX tracks with compressors, followed by Sound Radix Mute-o-Matic plugin so all the talk mics muted whenever I rolled transport. Hanging a mic right off the wall panel puts it at risk of being busted.
