VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

JohnV · Posted: Tue May 23, 2017 7:28 am Post subject: SOME GEAR TO GO

I am cleaning stuff out.
Some is old vintage antique audio stuff with Magic Smoke inside like they don;t make anymore... some is just stuff.

One thing is a new ASTON HALO portable-booth-shield-thing.
This is about THE bestest kind of these and indeed works great.
It is great for singers and other folks with memorised lines.

to be blunt, and likely will alienate folks here, is why I want to sell it.
What I haven;t solved is how to really ergonomically make it work with copy (paper or screen) .
If you;re interested, it's immaculate and in original box and packing

OTOH if somebody has found how to make this thing work while you read... I'm all ears!

Interesting...

There's no way to fit an ipad in there?

The best I can come up with is to dangle copy from above down to the upper lip of the thing.

A bit more spendy way is to project the copy on to the wall or a screen placed above and behind it.

It would make one heck of a snack or salad bowl for sure.

seems that putting something big flat and reflective like an ipad inside the shell with the mic would obviate a lot of what it does... and it DOES do it really well! The design is very well thought out and very well executed, built well, balances right, all that stuff...

What about using an ipad/tablet holder that attaches to the mic stand, like this guy from K&M?

I guess the question is still... WHERE DO YOU PLACE IT?

I'd place the copy behind the device and just above the "bowl". The copy might have to be enlarged a bit depending on your focusablenessability, but at least there's a clear shot for the voice and the eyes.

Not perfect, but......

"Google Glass" Laugh

Load the copy into Google Glass much the same as what was done with the sheet music in the YouTube video link below.....
