I often read reference here and on other boards about "DIN @ 90°, 17cm" or "ORTF @ 110°, 20 cm"...and while I completely understand what that means...do people actually break out protractors and/or rulers at shows?
I know how to set up DIN/ORTF/XY/NOS, etc...but it's in general terms. I can tell if my mics are somewhere close to 90° (or slightly more or less), and have an educated guess at the distance between the caps, but it sure is hell ain't scientific or exact.
So, how many folks use their engineering degrees in the field?
