Topic: Hypercard TLs

[BobW]

I've been blown away by the ADK A51 TLs in spaced Omni and Cardioid.

Does anyone have a solid example of these beasties used in Hypercardioid mode from a distance, like mebbe back in the taper's section ? Thinking about how they would stand up to an Arena show or maybe a large room, like the Orange Peel in Asheville(occupancy ~1000).

Anyone got a tune or two to share ?
Also, is anyone taping JMP/Vida Blue/Spam Allstars at the Orange Peel?
Sounds like the potential for one heckuva show.

I run them DIN with the hypers all the time in arenas and amphitheaters. I have never been dissapointed.

When running DIN, I run them vertical. I run them horizontal when in XY.

Here's a link to Phish 12-28-03 source using ADK TL's in hypercard mode.  I preferred and kept this source over the mk41v one.

Thanks ! I'm all over this.
Just heard 11-7-03 moe from the Mezz with Hypercard TLs and was very impressed. They keep their cool from afar.

Adirondack Mountain Club sticker, in case you haven't seen it.
Real easy to find near Lake Placid, NY and Lake George, as well.

OK, i'm biased, since i made the pull    but i also like the TL source more than any other source i've heard from that night...

 i wish i had recorded a few more nights with my rig....oh well.  

[phishn]

Thanks Xpanding for that pull..its the best one I have heard from the NYE run.  I wish you recorded the other nights too...  I was so impressed with these mics in hypercard mode from your tape.  I'm considering getting a pair of TL's but don't want to replace my warm mod ua-5..trying to decide if I should buy hypercard caps for the AKG bluelines, or sell the 391's and get the TL's.  I have a feeling the warm mod ua-5 may be too warm with these mics and may stick with the 93 caps.

I don't think so.  I love the TL>wmod sound.  Here's a few shows for download if you want to hear that combo:

Thanks Craig T..ill check those out.

[phishn]

other drawback to consider is that the TL's aren't shotgunable where the bluelines are..

why oh why would you use a shotgun when you have hypers?
