Title: Which caps/config should I use?
Post by: dank on September 03, 2003, 05:45:16 PM: I will be taping Springsteen at the baseball stadium here later in the month.

My seat is 2nd row center in Sec. C5

Would cards XY do the trick? I can probably borrow hypers for my Oktavas (also asking 'hippies' if I can borrow his 140/50s.) if I have to.

What would you do?

wouldnt cards pick up more rear sound, this is always what i thiught???more rear axis rejection would be hypers.....

In general, cards will reject more rear sound, hypers will reject more side sounds with a node of pickup in the rear.

Post by: blu666z on September 03, 2003, 09:02:24 PM: The closer to the outer edge the more range of frequency?
