I run 393's DIN indoors.

I only use the 91's on-stage or outdoors and always ORTF.

Just my preference......

What's a DIN configuration?  I know what XY and ORTF are.

Think XY but caps ~17cm apart and the vertex of the angle is at the base of the microphones, not at the capsules.

Governor Jim McGreevey was equally disturbed about the upcoming population increase. "New Jersey cannot support all of these wookies," he said. "For starters, we don't have nearly enough kindbud. At best, we can muster up a Q.P. of some beasties, but we've not a dime-bag more."

I have 300's with 91 caps and 93 caps, my experience has been use the 91 caps outdoors and in better indoor acoustic environments, use the 93 caps for everything else, I also suggest the ORTF mic configuration for livlier recordings, the XY will give a sterile sounding recording

I don't think that the 391's are bright enough to run ORTF... try DIN instead

I've gotten to run these twice now. Two different clubs.  Ran DIN first night.  Clarity is nice and sound is full.  Second night I run XY.  Lost a little clarity and its a bit boomier but not horribly.  Definately think DIN is the way to run.  Oh yeah, I was running hypers.

You should try XY with my pmod sometime - might take care of the boomy sound.
