Topic: Onstage with LD's (MXL 1006 BP's Cards)

[alienbobz]

Planning on running an onstage recording in a few weeks. Trying to figure out what I need to do. I have Marshall MXL 1006 BP's cards. I have read on some posts that it is better to run omni's but I don't have that option. What would be a good configuration? I can pretty much only do ORTF's, DIN, and similar runs (vert bar is AKG bar). Any help would be great.

x/y, 90*

Any clue how to do that with the damn AKG bar? I can do it 45 degrees, but I heaed to avoid that with LD's.

If you can't do x/y, 2nd choice would be DIN 90*.

What would be a good place (online) to find one of those?

Also, where would be a good place to get a stand, and where would I need to setup (ie. by which monitor)? Thanks for the help .

Edit: Looked around at different rig pictures to get the mental image of how to do this properly and I think I have figured it out. Going to stop at Guitar Center after work for the equipment. +T to both of you .

I agree with CraigT..   then again..  the only way ive liked large diaphagms XY is if you are real close to the soundsource (ie: onstage).. actually most configurations sound good onstage tho, with some being better than others..

ymmv
