DIN and cardiods
« on: April 28, 2003, 09:16:35 PM »
Tried using DIN with my mk4's this weekend. Got real nice results. Still got that nice stereo image and wide soundstage, but the 90 angle tightened everything up nicely. Ever try DIN with your cards? Try it, it sounds nice. Starting to like this config for everything, my mk41's and mk4's.

I run DIN hypers from the section almost exclusively with my TL's.

I usually run my cards and hypers both using DIN config.  Usually space the caps (cards 8in. & hypers 17cm.)

Nice effect.  Seems to give me a much fuller image over XY.  Although I usually take the room into consideration.  I can say, I rarely ever take the angle above 90 degrees with the 481/3 combo.

FWIW, Are you running actives or straight to the mic amps?

Straight into the mic amps. Also, let me clarify, I ran DIN using 17cm with the cards just to see what it sounded like, and it came out nice. Tight, much warmer than the mk41's, but still had a nice soundstage and stereo image.

Thats what I love about taping, experimenting, there are so many ways you can run your mics that aren't even listed but still pull great tapes. I like things to be tight, but to soo focused that I lose that spacious 3d image.

I've gone to DIN as my default config the last 6 months or so.  If I'm well FOB or in a really good sounding room, I'll go ORTF.  I've had similar experiences: DIN produces a nice stereo image and wide soundstage and tightens things up nicely.

FWIW, I run 20cm/90º.  As others have stated here, some folks run 17cm/90º.  Either way, I think it's great!

I've been listening to alot of tapes so far. I'm fond of the V2 after the 481's.......haven't heard any shows with a V3 after. I'm also wanting to hear a 481 > V2/V3 > AD2k+
