I'm thinking about doing a little A/B comp tomorrow night at the Kimock show. (stock 460s vs JW 460s, both with CK1 caps)
It seems like the standard practice is running the 2 sets vertically, with one pair 6 inches or so on top of the other pair.
For me, it would be a helluva lot easier to run them horizontally, separated by a foot or 2 on the manfrotto triple mic bar, rather than having to join 2 superclamps and clamp the 2nd pair underneath.
Sound-wise, would there be any advantage to one method over the other?
It seems to me there would be more of a blockage effect running vertically (one would be partially screened from above, while the other would be partially screened from below, while the effect would be less significant the other way (having one partially blocked to the L, the other partially blocked to the R).
Thoughts?
