Topic: SetUp for Outdoors

[kgreener]

I hear a lot about these big DPA screens, where did you get them (Sonic Sense?), and would they fit on small (21cm) mics??

[mirth]

I have AKG 393's (19mm, I believe) and from what I've read on here they're a nice fit. They were ordered from DaleProAudio (Thanks Jonny for turning me on to them!), and if you call them I'd bet they would sell them for the $12 list price rather than the $14 their site has them at (site also says List - $12).

Split omni's rock, but so did the tapes I did that I ran omni's about 8 inches apart. Never done NOS, will have to try sometime. ORTF works well with cards if you are close, DIN with cards is always a good bet.

ORTF worked wonders yesterday, tapes sound great...thanks to everyone for their help!

Glad you had a successful run!!

I have run all configs outdoors and have found ORTF @ 110 to 120deg. produces the best results to my listening tastes when close to the SBD or FOB. Nice fat, well rounded lowend with a big sound stage. Depending on the mics you run you might just find the low end to be a bit much for some playback systems. When I run my Gefells M200's in ORTF outdoors the low end is very pronounced and powerful and might not sound as good on lower end systems. But when you listen on a decent system....WOW!!!

Experiment and go what sounds best to YOUR ears!!
Have fun!

well said Sammy...i'm liking ortf at 110 a *lot* lately (i will keep 120 in mind too).  i get another chance to try it on july 5th with a nice jazz-funk outfit, outdoors in the exact same place.  my last recording sounded great, but it was a jazz singer along with only an acoustic bass and hollow-body guitar.  this next time will be drums, keys, guitar and bass, so that will give me a better indication of how the low-end is sounding.

thanks again!

you should at least try x/y.  i use it over ortf if I'm close enough.

nice av.  I have an ice cold bottle of Prima Pils waiting for me at home.  I've got to get over to Victory for a brewery tour one of these days.  If you like the Prima, try the Warsteiner Premium Verum - http://www.warsteiner-usa.com.

will do on the x/y...i'd like to try all of these configs if possible.

another prima lover, alright!  they (victory) simply don't make a bad beer, pretty much everything is awesome.  hop devil is another big favorite, as is storm king in the winter.  leaving for a week at the beach (delaware) tomorrow and i have a case of prima and 'devil ready to go.  i too need to get over to downingtown for a visit, just the other day a pal said the same thing. 

yes, i have had the warsteiner, but it's been a while since i've picked some up.  i will try to grab a six and do some straight up taste-testing (prima vs. warsteiner) with my bro' next week.  i'll let you know how it goes 

later!
