disclaimer-i've never run omnis before...however, i'd gues that if you're going to try em out with a 2 set show, do first set at 4 foot split, second set at 6-8 and see what you think.

Now that I think of it, I don't have windscreens for them, so I dont know if I can even do this. I do have some big ratshack windscreens that I could rubberband to the omnis, do you think that would work???

You don't really need windscreens for omnis.  They don't hurt, but are not absolutely necessary.

Then use the Radio Shack windscreens that you do have.  Omnis are far less suceptible to wind rumble than other mics.  Hypers are the most, followed by cards.  I ran with el cheapo MG screens for first night of GOTV where it was pretty windy and there is little wind noise on those tapes.  Phasing is another issue.

If it is pretty windy out there, have a closer spacing with the mics(under 4 feet) and run them a bit lower (around head height) to somewhat mitigate the phasing effect.

Cool man, thanks for the advice! Its not too windy, just drafty enough that I think screens might be nessisary. If Im gonna run at ~ 4 feet apart how high do you think I should run??? THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!!!

I've got a bar that I use to split omnis 15".  I have gotten some good results.  IMO you should space at least a foot to help seperate the channels, but I have heard 6" split omni tapes that sound pretty good too.

Ok, because I was thinking, if it rains Id like to have everything on one stand, and under 1 umbrella. My stereo bar goes 8 inches so that would be ok right???
