Blumlein

[Tim]

Okay so one of my u89s came with a schock mount that I can screw the mic down to very securely. Perfect for suspending a mic upside down for Blumlein or M/S!

Now this is a dumb question but do you need to decode Blumlein like you would with M/S? Logically I would say yes but I want to make sure.

Obviously I can decode on my computer but what about mixing down blumlein on the fly using a V2 or other preamp with an m/s circuit?

[goose]

Logically to me, you would not need to decode, as you cannot adjust blumlein like you can m/s.  It is just xy with a different polar pattern selected - to me.

I do not have direct knowledge, just saying that my logic says differently.

and there you have it...thanks mike

still want to come up and tape with you sometime - have you seen the consort lately?

[Tim]

Thanks guys... I was picturing the orientation wrong... more like a m/s witha rear lobe... "+" if you will as oppossed to an x/y style setup "x" if you will.

I have only listened to a few blumlein recordings and the definitely lack bass... I'll just have to pick my spots carefully.

Glad to know I've got this option though!

[Tim]

I'm only thinking of using it for acoustic music or on-stage jazz recordings right now.

If by chance I'm in a pa taping situation where I can run u89s blumlein FOB I'll give it a try for sure

Tim, congrats on the 89s!  Much fun to be had...

Tim,

[Tim]

from my cold dead hands...

just don't loan them to Nate and it'll be all good...

Tim,

I wouldn't run blumlein in any other situation other than close-micing and on-stage applications.

jason--

if I can't get my batteries and other gear to raleigh for panic you can run my u89s for the weekend, otherwise I look forward to a direct comparison with the tl's

[Jason B]

Trey,

What would keep you from being able to get you batteries and other gear here for the shows?

-JB

[twoodruff]

flying with that gear, been told to have batteries in checked bag, so if that bag doesn't make it, screwed???

[Jason B]

ahhh...Well, I think you will be alright. Good luck with it all. Look forward to running the comp!

I would not put the batteries in a checked bag, I would carry them on.

If you carry them on and they're concerned about the batts, you can break out the documentation, and after a minor delay you're on your way.

If you check them and they're concerned about the batts, your bag will not make it to your final destination.

Trey......
Here is a document from ecocharge regarding sla's that was developed for helping w/ questions by airlines in regards to battery systems. (bagged from Oade board)

http://www.ecocharge.com/PDF_forms/transportationpolicy.pdf

edit;
OK,...... Now I see that it was directed to your post on the Oade forum....
Duh!, oh well.

Brian Skalinder;
Maybe this should go in the archive section here?

Peace
Mike

So here is a question, would this documentation apply to our homemade SLA's as well, without the ecocharge logo?  If not, anyone know where I can get some ecocharge stickers???
