Hello everybody:
Normally, I'd do some more research but I'm going to be a little lazy (tsk tsk) and just ask as I'm heading to my first arena show tonight with my recently acquired R-09.
Also, in the past, when doing my "first show," I've always done a test show prior to it at a small venue - I just haven't had the time.
That said, I'm gonna be sitting (standing?) in the first ten rows on the floor tonight at a local Arena (18 to 20-thousand) and am trying to figure out what the right settings will be.
Obviously, I'm going to ensure the R-09 is set to 48/24 (8 GB Class 6 SDHC card should be safe for a 3+ hour set). Likewise, my AT-943's (SP-CMC-8 mics) are ready to go with the battery box. In the past, I've rolled off bass around 160Hz. I'm thinking about dropping that to 69Hz (or even to 16Hz - "off") - I'm just not sure what the best result will be.
Finally, I'm just trying to get an idea of what my level on the recorder should be for a ballpark. I'm using the SP-SB-3 battery box which is the one that uses the mini-9v (small, cylindrical type) battery.
Any help is appreciated. Hopefully somebody can get back to me today before I leave work around 3pm.
Cheers!
