question on this
if i wanted to run 2 414's M/S
how would one go about setting it up and how would the mike need to be configured?!?
i usally run the 414s hyper towards the stacks in larger venues and xy card in smaller ones

you'd make a T w/them if you go the horizontal route.  one mic just straight on, the other above/below it pointing forward, but laying on its side w/the caps pointing out at you (from the side).

the vertical route is the way to go.  top mic upside down, bottom mic normal and have them about 1/4" apart.  twist them around as needed this way.  XY, MS..etc.  there are great pics in the archive.

Like this Blumlein / XY setup, but rotate the top mic so the diaphragms are pointed straight at the sound source, and the bottom mic so it's diaphragms are perpendicular to the sound source:

so mike 'A' is perp to  the sound source in a fig 8 pattern
and mike 'B' faces source in a card pattern right
thanks guys

So, is it side address? ...and does it sound good?

Yep, it's side address.  It sounds pretty good.  Right on par with the rest of the blue line caps.
