Thanks for all your helpful info. :P

For someone else please --

Omni Earthworks I thought are based for vertical alignment?

Those mics could be a QTC-1, a QTC-40 (according to the website same as the QTC-1), or a QTC-50. No mention of anything like that for any of them. Ive never seen any Earthworks used in a vertical alignment, Im pretty sure they are set up in the normal fashion.

I've seen some onstage setups with a vertical alignment. Generally though, side stage omni.

they are QTC-1s or QTC-40's (same mic, different numbers... I have a set of both).

They are most likely only being used for ambiant mics in a multi-track if they are sidestage, thus I could see why they might be angled upwards for that.
