To get back on the topic of subcards w/ a jecklin disc, I see the experimental point of view of what you want to do Jimbo, but Im not sure why youd want to do it other than experimenting? I have always thought that NOS was the oNLY way to run subcards because it seems like teh PERFECT config for that pattern
BUT, I can see why you want to do it, and I sure hope youre onto something and it sounds amazing when youre done
I mean, the point of a jecklin disc is to give omnis that feeling of being psuedo-split and to open them up, while maintaining as little space as possible to achieve that 'split' sound/feeling. I just dont know how well it will work realistically. Guess we wont know until you try it out for real tho, eh?
I would just think that NOS would be the way to go for simplicity and for a guaranteed sound, but without actives running NOS, either running full-bodies/NOS or on a jecklin disc, eitehr way youre going to take up about as much space so might as well try it
IU am VERY curious to hear it tho
I am sure it will take a few attemps to get your angle and spacing just right tho. I ran my 482's/J-Disc for just a few shows/setsw back in 2005 and I angled my omnis at about 30* from the face of the disc, and they were 6" apart from each mic, so just 3" from the face on each side, and I was quite happy w/ those results. I would have liked to have ran the 482's/j-disc alot more but I didnt get it all together until the end of summer(moedown 2005) and sold my omnis shortly after.
So, what is your goal here Jimbo? To get a wider imaging and feeling than just plain NOS or something similar? Or just to get a whole different feeling altogether from the usual configs w/ subcards and hope you strike gold? Like I said, I sure hope it works out so we all have a new config to try out w/ the subcards, but IMO, NOS is the standard for subcards for simplicity and sound and I cant EVER see myself running them any differently. But what fun is that? experimenting is a great thing. Just think if noone ever tried DIN or DINa or ORTF or NOS to begin with? We would all be pointing at the stacks
I tried something very different for RAQ NYE 2007 and ran my MBHO Hypers/NOS on the KwonBar and boy am I glad I did
I would only suggest doing that WAY FOB like I was in the 9th row/DFC for RAQ NYE because of the wide separation on the caps and because I didnt want that dreaded 'hole in the middle'. But Hypers/NOS worked out EXTREMELY well that night. Its not something I would do all the time because the location had to be PERFECT for me to even attempt it, plus EVERYONE else was running DINa/DIN, and I had my safety rig on the balcony DFC running 483(DINa)>722, so I figured what the hell?
It would be AWESOME if you could borrow another pair of the busman subcards and ran one pair NOS and the other pair on the j-disc, and ran all 4 channels into the same mod on an R-4
THAT would be the way to go, and could really see/hear the differences in the two configs!
I dont now what Im getting at or trying to say. Mostly just LATENITE rambling.
Good luck my friend! We all will be waiting to hear the end result.
