Topic: DIN? NOS? ORTF? XY? WTF???

[Gordon]

so last night at deep fried I'm running hypers din 17cm.  a guy I know (a patcher great guy)  asked why I was running xy.  I said I'm not  the guy beside me is.  I said I'm running DIN.  had no idea what I'm talking about.  my drunk ass explained as best I could in my condition.  he said run ortf, you want a stero image.    again to drunk to explain.  I do need to try ortf at the peel, never have.  dfc (can't run FOB, well everythingis fob but...) is about 35 feet back in a boomy but good sounding room (sounding a lot better these days).  what do y'all think?

[Sean Gallemore]

i think you're not running DIn either

i think you're not running DIn either

why is that?  17cm instead of 20?  17 with hypers right?  edit: at 90 degrees

How much does distance from the sound source play in determining which configuration to use?

What would you use close, far away , etc.?

Thanks

[F.O.Bean]

close, i sue at least ortf, or maybe 120-130* spacing w/ great results

if im more than 40 ft back from the stage, i tend to use DIN w/ great results

try everything in between also, see what ya like;-)

mang you gotta have a protractor handy in your pocket proctector at shows.  sheesh...what kinda taper geek are you anyway?  

[spcyrfc]

well, i suppose this is sort of an outdated thread, seeing as it is an archive now, but
the kind of taper that carries a protracter in to a show is either a novice taper or the best sort of taper - the Precision Taper, and i know those are out there.

rock on for being able to say ORTF when ORTF is what is run.

btw, my DIN looks funny.  same as the faulkner from that link with the Small Diaphram mics, right?

I guess  I can start a thread for it later, but here's to Team Precision Taper. I've got the upgrade bug though, my protractor is cracked and I've been thinking about getting a couple small bubble levels to make sure everything is even. Yes I'm a geek and should probably seek professional help.

Nice link Terry. +T.

You're right Tim. I will have to try that Olson technique with the subcards.

Did you try it out? Very interested how it measures upto NOS.  Love the subcards up close/onstage.

Link is down. Here is the updated one:

Another route would be to go to www.dpamicrophones.com, mircophone unviersity, then click stereo techniques.

I ended up running WTF for an opening act last week.

For those not familliar with this method,  it is omni cap on the left mic and card on the right, 90* spaced 20cm

At least I noticed and fixed it before the main act.
