what is the so-called "healy pattern"
« on: March 15, 2004, 02:23:10 PM »
i have heard it is 3 split omnis in a triangluar pattern, but nothing about separation (either vertically or horizontally)

anyone have any pics of it in use ?

anyone ever run it "

does it look like this:

                                       stage

                                      x      x
                                          x


since summer is approaching, and red rocks is always fun to run splits, i thought i w0uld try this for either the dead or the $CI, ABB runs.

thanking you

The Healy method is taking two omni's and spacing them ear distance apart with the caps facing out.  Tim and I did Utah and Kansas City like this last Summer...

maybe you're thinking of a Decca-Tree?

Dave,

Do you face the caps at 180*? Like  >-- --<    (nice diagram, huh?)
Since it's only ear distance too, i gather you ran both mics on the same stand?
And would it hurt if one mic was 20mm higher than the other? I don't have a stereo bar, so i'd just clamp one on top of the other, and face them outward.

Thanks

I ran it with the mk5's and my tubes.  What's fucked up about it?  You won't know until you try it..right?  I think the Kansas City tapes sound sick played back on serious speakers...

huh?

they are setup vertically as always but the diaphragm is at 90* from the sound source....

I ran it for Bela at the Botanical Gardens too... sounds pretty good. I prefer spaced omni's but if you don't have the room this works well.

don't think you want to do it at red rocks...i think it needs to be flat (little reflection)...also, it is not supposed to work as well with LD's as with small diaphragm omnis...supposedly the dual-diaphragm large capsule mics do not work as well in this technique, but i know people have disagreed about that...could be another doug oade "magic 8-ball" myth.

unless you run em split, so that each mic is on axis and you're in the 4th row...then i think you could get away with it.

dave:  the walls at red rocks have a lot of reflection off of them, which is why it would be a fucked up pattern to run there.  especially if you are above row 20-22, where the steepness increases and the walls get bigger.

i'll probably just end up trying it for one of the sci sets anyway.

Yep...I set them up facing out 180 degrees...
And I wouldn't want to try it at Red Rocks because of the steep incline, but would definitely go for it at a big open shed with no roof...

didn't ian run 40' splits at usana this summer.  i would also think that the gorge would be another spot to run splits.  about 1/2 way up the cement of course.

I doubt Ian ran a 40ft split in Utah...
The section there was VERY small....
