AT897 complimentary mics for festival
Conrad314:
Newbie here :help: Bought a pair of AT897's from a friend and I'm looking for a set of complimentary mics to go with. Still trying to figure out if I need omni or cardioids? What's a good beginner mic to go with?
DavidPuddy:
Personally, I would get the cardioids. I've owned the AT897s and made some good tapes, but the cardioids will always be useful where the shotguns will either be good or not IMO.
Omnis are useless in 95% of the situations I tape in (indoor, small to mid sized venues)

Seconded. Cards are a good anchor in most situations.

Thank you! Do you have a favorite cardioid?
