<p>Hi, I'm currently building my field recording/wildlife rig. I have a matched pair of B&amp;K4006s and wonder if anyone has experience of using these in the field. Should I hold on to them or sell them and replace with something else? My current arsenal includes:</p> <p>Sennheiser 416 and ME66 with K-6. Telinga parabola with stereo dat mic. Matched pair of AKG 414s. Microtech Gefell UMT70S. Rode Classic.</p> <p>Any advice would be gratefully received! Thanks Phil.</p>

<p>Hello again, Thank you for the help with the B&amp;K 4006s. While I'm at it.. I wonder if anyone has used a matched pair of 414s in the field for nature recording and if so .. what basket/mounts would be best to use with them? </p> <p>Thanks Phil.</p>

THanks @shaun, got a bag and cables sorted.. batteries and 1 charger too. I checked out the Petrol bags.. I like the look of them. I bought portabrace, but may have a look at some of petrol's other gear. Will also look into getting another charger. Good idea!

@iain, I bought rycote lyremounts and softie kits for them. Mounted them on a straight bar and had a wee listen to my ever bustling rhododendron bush! Really nice atmos.. and a surprising amount of detail too! They are now officially in the kit.!

Thanks Matt, I have actually just taken the plunge yesterday and ordered a M/S rig consisting of MKH 40+30. I have the AKGs from my old studio.. they're a lovely matched pair and I just wondered if they would be of any use in the field. I'll keep them warm for indoors rec.!! Cheers Phil.

Thank you.. I kind of figured as much.. but thought I would ask the question anyway! You sometimes never know what innovations people have come up with!
