Mic Configurations for Dummies (including Stereophonic Zoom link)
« on: May 26, 2005, 10:54:46 PM »
http://www.shure.com/pdf/userguides/guides_accessories/a27m.pdf (dead link?)

Found this while trawling for gear.  I wish I had seen this when I first started out.  A very easy to use guide with angles and degrees of seperation.

Read through this as many times as it takes for it to sink in:  http://www.rycote.com/assets/documents/technical_files/The%20Stereophonic%20Zoom.pdf  :)

The "standard" configs like XY, DINA, DIN, DINA, ORTF, NOS, AB, etc. are useful starting points.  But they're just starting points.  The Stereophonic Zoom is also a starting point, but provides greater flexibility and some rationale for why certain configurations are good in certain scenarios.  Happy reading...

I believe they recommend the max to be 135, and there's no way you'd want to go below 90.

just to clarify, for XY, the mic pointing to the audience right stack is the mic you plug into the right channel and the mic pointing to the left audience stack is the one you plug into the left channel?
