Topic: Outdoor Mic Configuration - FOB

[jlykos]

I voted split omni. But I'm wondering about distance from the stacks. When does the distance become to great for any type of omni or subcard recording?

Thinking about split omnis at GOTV. The section is usually on the right side of the board. Not a great distance from the stage, but not FOB either.

I ran split omnis from the SBD area at the 2003 GOTV.  Tapes turned out incredible.  I ran from the left side because there were about 1/10 as many people there as on the right side, even though they were off center by the exact same amount.

What type of mic (i.e., card, omni, hyper)? 

What type of hat - sun visor?

Now that answered my question. The left side always seems lighter on peeps. I'll be there Saturday only, running splits on the left. I think everyone is on the right for recharge of batts and possible SBD plug in's.

I usually wear a light weight mesh hat and currently run cards. If possible, I clamp the mics on my stand. In the past I did run my schoeps ccm41's (hypers) and made some sick tapes.
