Topic: Vertical angle for mic configs..

8-9ft most of the time...

You'll also get increased bass presence by running your mics at a wider angle.  You're mics will capture less of the short, very directional high frequency sound waves, and, therefore, proportionally more of the long, closer to omnidirectional low frequency waves.  e.g running at 110 degrees will add more low end than running at 90 degrees, assuming both of those angles aim your mics outside the stacks.

i could definitely writ an equation for that!

i usually point to the outside of the stacks..think ill try DIN next time with 20 cm separation for cards, 17 cm separation for hypers when i get em.

I'd be most interested in the phase response of the mics being aimed. Different angles of incident can have profound changes in the mics frequency response due to the lack of flat phase. Knowing the frequency response at various angles can give you insight as to how to point your mics best. Your results have more to do with phase response than you might think! AND there are very few flat phase mics available. VERY few. Go on line and look for specs...you won't find them for most mics....they don't want you to know.
