Topic: POLL: How high do you run your mic stand

[wboswell]

When setting up, I throw in the in-ear monitors to block out the outside world and begin raising the stand.. when it sounds perfect, either through opening band or house music, that's where I leave it... always different..

Great concept!

other than on the fly m-s, that's the first reasonable use of headphones during a show that i have heard on this board.

Real good idea. I never wanted to be the earphone geek in the section but I'll have to try this out. T+

just can't do it. feel dorky enough, particularly when taping non-jambands. Headphones = Spaz.

Front row of the TS, DFC, I run my stand maybe a foot to a foot and a half above head height.

in ear monitors are the key...  Those etymotics are barely noticeable.  Not like you'd have them on long anyway...

but I concur on the headphone geek.  Headphones on during a show = tool.  You can't hear anything with headphones on during play anyway.  I mean, sure, you can hear something, but what are you going to do if you hear something you don't like?  Move the stand?  Change caps?

I usually stand ther and raise my arm up w/ fingers extended....that's usually enough to be away from the chatter and not too high to be annoying...basically 6-9' depending on the friendliness of the place.
