borrowing some 41s tonight for the hold steady. i forgot to get the DINa bar. i have DIN, ORTF and wideORTF(25/110) bars. i'll be about 12 ft from the stage, suspended from the balcony, with the mics hanging about 8 ft above the crowd. thoughts on which config to run?
Out of the choices, I'd say DIN.
ORTF would probably be alright too, since you're pretty close.
IMO, the Wide ORTF would be too much spacing/angle though.
With hypers (or supercards, which the 41's are), I personally seem to like an AB spaced 17-20cm pointed at outside edges of stacks.
I agree, DIN or point at stacks. I feel like the whole point of the hypers is to get more direct sound, so might as well do that. Plus the 41s pick up such a full signal range, they'll have plenty of bass with the tighter pattern.
DIN.

I ran my MK41s DINa first set then NOS second set for this show http://www.archive.org/details/um2010-03-11.mk4_flac16 where I set up in the balcony. Odd theater where the balcony extends to stage lip and the stacks are at eye level (and ~ 120 degrees apart. Similar to the set up you are describing). Adam D. clamped to me and ran MK4 DIN. Different caps, different preamp but a comparison of sorts.
I typical run DINa
