which mics to use
« on: December 18, 2007, 10:15:55 AM »
heres my dilemma....

im in row O smack dab in the middle (venue is the akron civic theater).



i wish to tape from these seats.  

ive 2 sets of mics at my disposal.  church cards, and nak 300s.

ive never taped here (of been here) before.  no idea how far the stage is from the balcony.

my question is, sience the church cards are inbetween hyper and cards, would that be my best bet, or would i be better off using the naks with the cp1s, and hope im reasonably close to stacks?

info and opinions wanted!  ive never been to this venue, and im not a very experienced taper (yet).

i have never been there
do you know if the balcony overlaps at all, meaning does the 1st few rows overlap the last few on the section below it?
even if it doesn't - distance wise you are talking row 14
i would be more worried about how high you are compaired to the stack vs how far away

with that said i would go with the naks based on the info we know right now
Mics - AKG ck61/ck63 (c480b & Naiant actives), SP-BMC-2
XLR Cables - Silver Path w/Darktrain stubbies
Interconnect Cables - Dogstar (XLR), Darktrain (RCA > 1/8) (1/8 > 1/8), and Kind Kables (1/8f > 1/4)
Preamps - Naiant Littlebox & Tinybox
Recorders - PCM-M10 & DR-60D
