Neumann TLM103 & Airport X-Ray


Recommended Posts

OK, I'm probably being really paranoid, but....

 

I'm travelling to do some recording. I'm bringing a Neumann TLM103 with me. I don't have a "road case" for it and would like to just put it in my carry on luggage.

 

Somebody asked me today if there would be a problem running it through the airport's x-ray machine at security.

 

I don't have a clue - I know you can put a laptop, etc. through, but never thought about a condenser mic.

 

Help!

 

thx

dave

Just think you can say "My Neumann goes all the way up to 36k!... is really 'fast', 'transparent' and has the 'X' factor!'.... offers please?"

I've run other (cheaper) condenser mics through airport x-rays without a hitch. You can always ask the security officer to "hand check" the mic. They shouldn't have any problems with that.

Although they might want a drug sniffing dog to inspect it. Wouldn't be a problem for me, but I don't know you... http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gifhttp://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Or, if your REALLY worried, just do what the drug trafficers do, and insert it in a body cavity until you pass through the line. Ha Ha.

What do you suppose THAT will do to the sound of the mic??? (Mic covered in K-Y... oh, that's as far as I go..)
