Topic: Best way to run cmc641s

[twoodruff]

just wondering what everyone's opinion on which config to run schoeps hypers or any hypers for that matter. I run my u89 in DIN, just trying to see what the sd mic users run them in.

xy!!!

[Brian Skalinder]

I prefer DIN in general for hypers.  Haven't run the 41s yet, though.

I think the 641's are best run in your closet at home, while the u89 hypers are best run out in the field

+T for tim

[Tim]

it was just such a great setup!

[Mic D]

+T to Trey for setting him up! .

bump...

Trey-
How did the XY 41's turn out?

 :afro:


when I ran them???

[jlykos]

I run the Gefell hypers XY when I am less than 30-50 feet from the source, DIN for most other times.  If it is a place that is obscenely boomy like the Millennium Center in Winston-Salem, I run XY even though I am far away from the stage.  Have no idea about the Schoeps; I have never run those.

[wboswell]

I saw the picture from last weekend at the NMAS show.  41s xy, right?  Not talking about any other times

[twoodruff]

yeah, I'm trying to convince someone that 41's need NOT to be run xy, if only I had ever run them that way

[wboswell]

Just give them a copy of that Truckers show I sent you.  That was a DIN recording in a bad poor sounding room.   I thought that turned out .  I would think that xy would make the already bright 41s even more bright.  Maybe I'd run them XY if I had a pair of omnis to mix them with followed by a modified pcm f1.

i actually now really like running both cards and hypers DIN.  cards spaced a little wider (20cm for cards v. 17 for hypers).  i think DIN cards creates a really nice stereo image and i like it better than ortf in a lot of situations.  ortf can be too wide unless you are close and dfc.  i think my weekend project is figuring out way to build an adjustable bar for neumann actives that keeps the caps at 90 degrees to each other but adjusts in spacing from NOS down to DINA and even less.

Once I get the 140's...I'm gonna try to get a DIN bar made.  It looks like it would be fairly easy....  I just need to see how the caps are clamped onto the XY and ORTF mounts.  I know someone who can build a nice aluminum frame at the 90 degree angle.
