I am going to the ABB show in Raleigh next Sunday night and I have 7th row, center section, towards the end of the row seats. I am going to this show with a few friends who have never seen them and as a result, I am not willing to trade my seats around to get a bit farther back and more center. As a result, I am looking for input on how best to run the mics....hopefully someone here has had a similar situation!
My gut tells me that I have a couple of options:
1) Lately at Alltel they have had stage speakers on the stage pointing out to the audience. If this is the case, the answer is probably easy....XY or DIN, based on where I am at.
2) Otherwise, I just have to raise the stand up 8-9' and go for broke. With this being said, I am concerned that i would be in a bit of a music "hole" so to speak, so I am not sure if configurations could help solve it (ORTF...something with a wider angle basically).
I will be running 391(3)s>MP2>Mod SBM-1. I guess I also have the option to run MG Omni's assuming Jamie is willing to loan them out if someone thinks this may work, but in talking with Jamie on this, I think I may be to close to run omni's....the bass would kill it.
Thoughts???

PS - Besides, if I fuck this up, Clear Channel will solve all my problems with the SBD copies they are selling!
