Haha, I just realized, I dont know which side of the TLs is the front! Could somebody help me! THANKS!

Thanks Mike!

"ADK" logo = front.

funny story... this one time I was stage lip for a Derek Trucks show running the Neumann tlm170s cards x/y.  During the break before the encore I notice the red Neumann logos pointed in my direction as I stood behind the mics.  I had the mics pointed at the crowd instead of the stage!  I immediately switched the patterns from cardiod to fig-8 and did pull off a nice blumlein recording for the encore.  Definitely one of my biggest goofs, and now I never forget to double check which way the mics are rotated.

Alex,....
Its REAL EASY to switch patterns while making last minute adjustments before flying the mics. So always double check the switch setting also!

yep! i definitely ran a hyper and a card one night while not paying attention. doesn't sound bad but when you pan to to each channel they sound noticeably different.

edit: oh yeah, and another +T for the TL's ... you're gonna love 'em!

I wondered that also when I first got them.......great mics, you will enjoy them, run the omni's splt

I second that emotion. Ran 8" split omni for an outdoor show on Monday...GREAT results. Wonderful presence, with the vocals up front, and a pretty accurate soundstage, even given my modest playback system. I'll definitely fun the TL's like this again outdoors!

Haha, thanks for the advice guys!

I assume you meant 8 feet not inches?  Probably gonna try some split omnis this weekend if I can find another stand to clamp to.

Nope. 8 Inches. Honest! I was a bit skeptical myself, but after hearing that the distance you place omnis is an in-exact science at best, and that others had acheived satisfactory (or even great) results running them as close as 6" apart, I decided to give it a shot. Worked great to my ears.

Per this thread:  http://www.taperssection.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=21316.0

Interesting.  Think my tbar will get them about that far apart...may try that tonite since I won't need an extra stand.

space em out a bit further, you'll like the results much more...

[Brian]

i think with an 8" spread, using a j-disc would yield much better results, than without.  I'm gonna test this out in august for the euphio campout. but hey if you guys like the results then that's all that matters

[creekfreak]

I have run them on omni about 8 inches a part, made a great recording, the farther you split them, the more stereo affect you get, and the more "space" you will here, I found both ways sound differnet but equally good.

[Brian]

hey creek,

did you point the caps towards the stacks, or rotate them off axis at all? or just plain AB style? i'm gonna try this out sometime but point the caps towards the speakers.  higher frequencies are more directional so i think it would yield the best results sonically.

thanks

[creekfreak]

I did plain A/B style, but I was so close that it really didn't matter
