Reminds me sonically of the old acoustic transfer (source: a Mullard 5-10
feeding a Vitavox? horn stood on a couple of raided beer-bottle crates as
Exciter and a couple of ST&C apple-and-biscuit mics on stands, about 4 and
9 ft away, as Pick-ups to line-sending preamps feeding lines patchbay) in
our echo room about 10' x 15' x slanted 5'-9' high with a reinforced
ceiling - that space was purpose-made, hewn in limestone 30' down, under
the Studios we had in Malta, 40 years ago.
The "floor" was always damp because of the porous calcium (sometimes in
winter a deep puddle formed, which altered the sonics). And a couple of
400W space heaters were always left on.
Access and power, lines, comms was via a hewn narrow, ramped 7' high
walkway from the surface entrance room lobby, and there was a 4"
breather/evaporation pipe ending 10' above the surface. I suspect the
equipment died of rust.
Can't ever beat line-out to line in copying methodology !!

more space than usual in me room and mono due to the mic being a bit
