Olsen! brilliant.
back in December I was attempting to run an ortf setup,
but still hadn't internalised the numbers and
accidentally set up an Olsen. 17cm@135*
I guess it wasn't so dumb afterall.
The room was pretty small and I got a lot of 'ambiance', needless to say.
Actually, the ambient crowd recording between sets is brilliant.
I also went through a phase of accidentally running what I thought was DIN with
the mics 17cm@90*... getting ORTF and DIN mixed up... no complaints from me, though,
just not sure if I could really call that DIN or not
DIN is easy to set up, but NOS is even easier, and I have enjoyed my results so far.
NOS was especially good when closer than half way into a small club.
I've used ORTF when the PA was too loud for the room
to keep the caps from pointing directly at the stacks.
I used DIN for a couple of duet performances, both amplified and acoustic,
both would be at stage lip or on stage distance.
