Kevin, that's a cool stand. What's the name of it?

I actually went completely opposite. I got  the Manhasset Fourscore stand which can hold up to 4 sheets of paper accross.

At first I thought it would be too big but it almos acts as a desk and a stand. I can put the MicroBr on one of the sides, and still have room for 3 music sheets.

just a thought but the peripherals are bigger than the microbr lol, how many products can you say that about



am sure their will be a list on that very topic soon lol.

Olarte,

It appears to be a music stand for the Munchkins from the Wizzard of Oz. It's called a Raxxess AMSS. My thought when looking at a larger stand is that the larger surface would reflect more sound, which might not sound so good with the echoy walls in my space. After I do some serious testing with the built in mic, I'll determine if I need to pad the back or not, to absorb more sound. I also thought about cutting it down to size since it's made of aluminum, but that's probably more work than I want to put in.


Jim,

ALL Peripherals are bigger than the micro. :)

I had been looking for a pocket-size effects unit for almost a year and saw nothing worthwhile. I found it in the Micro and the bonus is I get the recorder as well.

Kevin

that's a cool stand.  By the way, what adjustments do you do to the br to use the onboard mic?  Do you use the pre-amp?  Is it really good for vocals?

SteveG

That is a good idea with the stands, must look into the options. As for recording vocals with the onboard mike, yep it works fine, just select a vocal effect, hold it far enough away so its not over level and let 'em rip  ;D Vocal delay 1 works well for me. Have a play with the eq and the enhancer too.

Jim,

I bought it at a physical Sam Ash store. I don't see it listed on their site either. Here are a few places online that have it:
http://www.zzounds.com/item--RAXACMS
http://www.mountsandmore.com/Raxxess-AMSS-AMSL-RX1117.html

I haven't ordered from either of these sites before. I also don't know if they ship internationally from the US. Raxxess doesn't do sales on their site.

If anyone gets one, I wouldn't recommended using it as shown on these sites. When it's attached to the included bracket it's not very stable. I mounted mine directly on a mic holder. To do it I trimmed the fin on the bottom of the stand at a 45 degree angle (since it didn't quite fit in my mic bracket) and used washers to mount it. (You'll want big washers with small holes to make it more stable.) I glued a piece of craft foam on the bottom lip to keep the Micro from getting scratched. And I should point out that a stable mic stand is a necessity.



The bracket that came with the stand is not needed at all so I use it as a headphone and guitar cord holder. Eventually I'll install a cupholder on the mic stand for a snifter of Grand Marnier. Then the portable studio will be complete.
