Topic: Thoughts on configs for U89i, for Coventry

[RRobar]

Ok, Looks like Trey Woodruff has offered me the opprotunity to borrow his U89i>V3. It will be my first time running both pieces of gear. I'm not concerned about the V3 so much. The U89's are a different story. SO I'm looking for some thoughts on different configs for the LD wonders. Thoughts?

well I normally run ak50's or 40's>v3 but have used tim's u89's twice this year.1st time,3rd night vegas and they came out
pretty decent considering the amount of coaching I had(tim) ;)ran them hyper but I think the spacing was a liiittle too tight
but oh well. then I recently used them 1st night deer creek and and let's just say I wasted good battery power and tapes.
tim was a little later coming in the gate and had begun his day 8)already so we just kind of threw them up so to speak. talk
about way off axis! :obut I now have an idea about what I'm doing,if I ever get tim's on loan after the break up I plan to do much
playing around with them.

I think our plan for vermont is to run split omni's with the u89's but haven't really talked spacing yet(maybe 4-8') and i'll let matt run the 50's again to get all the neuman sources covered. it would be nice to have 2 u89 sources w/different set ups to do a comp.

I was thinking Omni's depending on where we can set up and the section location and all.

go omni's for sure, there will be shitloads of tapers there, so trying out new things
is a good idea, and you never know, your experiment might be smokin

[jpschust]

you are going to run in the section at coventry?  why?

[plucks]

if you dont have 2 stands/clamps for split omnis, running subcards is always a good call.  I had real good luck running u89s with cards in RIA which is about 21cm@90/100*.  Granted it was in a completely different setting, still good results. 

[F.O.Bean]

def subcards or omnis IMO, spacing i havent a clue tho!!!

Jonny,
I pretty much just plan on setting up where everyone else does. If it's the section then so be it. If it's FOB then Thats cool as well.

I guess spaced omni's seem to make the most sense. I'll have to dig to see how far those Big Cypress U89's were spaced. Just as a starting point.
