Topic: So who here actually does this?

[pfife]

I made a template from a thin plastic casing, commonly use for packaging many items sold today (eg. Mic cables).  The template has two circles (exact diameter of my LD) that will easily slips over the mics when proper distance is achieved.  Once the template is slipped on, each mic/capsule can be independently rotated for proper angle positioning.  Each circle on the template demarcated with the desired angle.  I know a picture would probably explain this better (damn engineer). 

sounds nifty!

Ouch mark, that's one bad dtb tape!

as for omni's they are directional at high frequencies so straight ahead or angled out a bit... honestly it doesn't make a huge difference.

I have a cardboard triangle cutout that has the angles for a couple of configs and then has all the important distances also marked on it.  But I rarely use it because I almost run DIN exclusively so I've memorized how far the mics are in relation and can eyeball 90 degrees fine

i don't use anything.  every venue and situation calls for it's own unique configuration beyond the standard specs of most stereo configs.  being able to have variable angles at variable widths is crucial for our applications IMHO.

I can't remember who taught me this one, but a dollar bill is 6 inches long.

6 inches X 2.54 cm/inch = 15.25 cm.  Add a knuckle or two and you're pretty close to 17cm...

Oh, yeah, and it easily shows you 90deg too...

Yes, I used this too when I happened to have an unrolled bill on me

in all seriousness what Brian said was right on, adjust to taste and room

haha, dont lie tim, ive never seen you w/ unrolled bills

[Tim]

Yeah, but I never carry singles, only $100s...

you too? man we need to hang out

[Tim]

Bean, we need to go see moe. together like Cheez and I did during hiatus... good times, I guarantee...

what are you guys talking about

like this? >>>>>

When I started I took a ruler with me to shows... I soon realized that when I spread my fingers out as far as they go, from my thumb to my pinky is 20 cm, so i go with that scientific measurement

i do the same thing.  +
