Author Topic: Describe DIN configuration? (Read 12211 times)

CQ_DX · « **on:** October 10, 2003, 12:48:07 PM »

Easy question:

Been poking around the net reading various information on mic setup....XY, ORTF, etc. I can't seem to find an explanation of DIN setup. Is there a FAQ or a website URL someone can point me to to read up on this config?

Thanks

Imagine ORTF with the microphones at 90* and the capsules spaced 17cm for hypers and 20cm for cards.

that is why I love the DIN and ORTF bars for the schoeps actives, takes all the guess work out of it

copy/paste from dpa mic university:

DIN stereo uses two cardioid microphones spaced 20 cm apart and angled at 90° to create a stereo image. The DIN stereo produces a blend of intensity stereo signals and time delay stereo signals, due to the off-axis attenuation of the cardioid microphones together with the 20 cm spacing. If used at larger distances to the sound source the DIN stereo technique will loose the low frequencies due to the use of pressure gradient microphones and the influence of the proximity on these type of microphones. The DIN stereo technique is more useful at shorter distances, for example on piano, small ensembles or used for creating stereo on a instrument section in a classical orchestra.

What?? You guys don't speak HAM??

Not that I do....just used to have a roommate who was fanatical about it; so I kind of recognize it.

Lee · « **Reply #13 on:** October 11, 2003, 12:26:38 AM »

not quite fanatacal, but I dabble in 2m occasionally...

Yeah, Lee, you called it. I've been lurking here for quite some time but only recently (last week)
registered for a user name. I don't tape, but I find the technical discussions interesting.

I guess it's the same electronics gearhead geek gene that develops obsessive tapeheads - mine is directed mostly at ham radio.

P.S. Wanna trade? I have a major league CD list thanks to the efforts of all you guys out there. Thanks a LOT.

Sorry, I'm trying to figure out why the .jpg won't attach. don't use quick reply, jpg less than 128kb, hit browse, pick jpg , post. I can attach from my hard drive can't I? You need to be smarter than the "reply page"

as long as its 128 or less and its on yer hard drive, there shouldnt be a problem... ;)i'd check to see if its for sure 128 or less......

ummmm, what does it say when you try??

barren4 · « **Reply #19 on:** October 15, 2003, 06:49:01 PM »

you cant use quick-reply.

Hit Reply. put some text in the box...anything will do.

Hit the browse box. find the pic double click it & hit ok. Your ready to post.

Good luck!!

F.O.Bean · « **Reply #22 on:** October 16, 2003, 02:26:26 PM »

barren, thanks for the pics......using the right kind of mics too.. ;)but, did ya ever get it to werk on ts.com??

barren4 · « **Reply #23 on:** October 16, 2003, 04:11:08 PM »

Nope, not yet. Both you and kindguy described what I did. Thanks to you both for trying to help. Still no attachment. I'll keep reading. Sooner or later I'll come across the answer. In the meantime, I are a dumbass. Now off to the archives.

barren4 · « **Reply #24 on:** October 16, 2003, 04:45:53 PM »

Hmmm, according to Brian S. "Note: if you preview the post, you may have to re-attach the image. " I've been previewing each time. Thanks again to you and Kindguy and thanks for the +T. Thanks also to Mike French for steering me towards the archives (saw that in another thread).

barren4 · « **Reply #25 on:** October 16, 2003, 04:50:12 PM »

Hot damn! I still are a dumbass but I can post a pic

Sorry, you can't repeat an action within the wait time. You must wait 12 hours.

ill hit ya up after that barren......how are ya diggin the rt angle on the 480's...

/i have planty of mic cable but no rt angles...

cpclark · « **Reply #27 on:** October 16, 2003, 09:31:36 PM »

i need to get myself some right angles as well, the straight angles have been puttin a hurt on the shockmounts, and thanks to bean showin me the ropes as well as daryan using DIN, i really dont use anything else anymore, din anywhere between 80-110 degrees for me and the results are sweet, and nice pics barren4 btw, +T

I'm lik'in them. Overall I don't know that it makes that much difference, but it does streamline the visual clutter on top of the stand a bit.

thanks for the +Ts
