Title: DIN
Post by: twoodruff on October 24, 2002, 12:50:44 PM

Can anyone give me some pointers on DIN? I think I am going to try my neumann u89s DIN on Friday for the NMAS in Jackson, would that be appropriate? I am having the hardest time figuring what setup is best for these big hand size mics. Love the sound, set up is a tad more touchy than it used to be.

just point em at the stacks trey.  thats the best way to go with the large dia. mics.  they are harder to get lined up right, but when you do,  you'll know why you dragged those fat boys to the show.

not the same as the old ORTF bar where I shoved them in there and raised the stand a lit the cigar, these take thought and now a v3 taboot, any ideas on that sound Mr. doe?

i would love to hear the u89's or the 170's w/ this thing.  soo nice, and crystal clear.  definately a perfect representation of the venue, almost scary.  did you get yours yet or what?  i want tapes. ;D

unfortunately the first 2 venues for these bad boys to fly in with the v3 available will be UNO and the Orpheum in NOLA. So I m kinda shaky on making that be its first outting, but I m sure they will couple at some point, now to convince someone to run B&K>oade m148

20 - 25, and i dont see runnin much hotter than that, unless maybe for an acoustic set, ie: keller, yonder maybe.  just such a space saver, battery saver, and dummy proof.  and the quality of your recording is not compromised by any of these factors.  i can run the V3 and my deck for like 6-7 hours easy on this 6x8ah battery i have.  so nice, compared to the 12x12ah brick i lugged around for the ad1k,plus the 6 for the deck and V2.  i felt like a friggin slave driven laborer at the end of the night.

Trey, I always run my tubes DIN when I run the 41's.  I would ONLY run your u89's DIN with the hyper setting.  Try em out and let us know how it sounds.  I know Estrin usually runs his towards the stacks.  It is much harder to align the large dia mics....
