what stand to buy, and placement question
caymanreview:
just got a pair of akg 391's bought and was wondering if anyone could reccomend me a good stand for them
also wondering what kind of placement everyone reccomends for these mics
il be taping outside at 20ft from the stage

Probably ortf or din at that distance. I use a bogen/manfrotto light stand that goes up to thirteen feet. I got mine from micsupply.com. They have a pretty large selection. I have seen the shure stand in the field a bunch, and it looks nice as well!

As for the stand, I highly recommend the bogen 3322B. It goes to 13 feet, and is the new "stacker" design. I recommend B&H photo as the retailer (let me know if I should edit out the retailer reference). I was actually able to buy a used 3322 through their website - was just like new, but $20 cheaper than new (and their new prices are cheaper than you will find on any taper website). http://hyperlink2.com/?201

There ya have it. Cool thing about ts.com, we can post retailers, which I for one, find a lot more helpful!
Good luck on the mic stand search!

At a distance that close, run DIN, you will get a good image and nice sound. Quite honestly, DIN will give you the best results with the 91 caps in most cases....
