Title: Mic Configs for Outdoors
Post by: morningdew on May 18, 2006, 02:43:40 PM

I'm going to Summercamp in about a week and it will be my first time taping outdoors.

I've run DIN and DINa and have been happy with both.  I think DINa seems to work a little better in a narrow situation but frankly I don't know what I'm talking about.  Not enough pratical experience to be certain of this opinion.

How about outdoors?  Should I try some dream config?  I have cardoids and will probably run those the entire time but I might have a back up pair of hypers to run if I'd like.

Thanks.

Along the same lines....Not trying to thread hijack here....but.  I want to run split omni's at bonnaroo this year.  How far apart to the omnis need to be from eachother?  I have heard anywhere from 3ft to 30ft apart.  Any help would be much appreciated.  but please answer morningdew's question first.

FWIW...morningdew... I like cards ORTF (110degress 17cm apart) at outside venues.  I liked what I pulled from Langerado with that config (minus the wind).

ORTF outdoors 0wnz....I also like to use my HPF filter on my V2. I find that the low end is much stronger at outdoor shows. It's clearer but can have a punch that's annoying to my ears.
