Which AKG 300 caps to run?
«

Gonna be running my news mics on Friday night. I've got both the 91 and 93 caps. I have always run cards at the venue I am going to. On these mics:
old mics.
Should I run the 91 caps or move to the 93s?
Room holds 200-300 maybe. Square except for left wall is missing so people in the bar can watch also. Normally setup dead center, 35-40' back which is basically the back of the room.

have you been happy with your previous tapes? if so then cards
however I think most people prefer to run hypers in small bars, cuts down on some of the room reflections and general bar noise. unless the place sounds really good I prefer hypers inside.
how wide is this place?

Been happy with my tapes before but I also have never run hypers since I have never had them before. Room is maybe 20' wide.

try the hypers out, you might be suprised and it can't hurt to try. I bet you'll like them.

FWIW, when I had my 390's I usually ran the 93's when at a bar/club. The only time I got really good results w/ the 91's in a bar/club was using them X-Y; when used ORTF or DIN in clubs they sounded really boomy.

the hypers for those mics absolutely rock indoors. The only times I would run cards is when I was in REALLY great sounding clubs, with a small audience, or outside...otherwise hypers were the choice for me.

din here also...only occasionally x/y...
if you got both caps...start with the cards, and switch to hypers for the second set...or cards for opener, hypers for headliner
then compare...and let your ears be the judge
have a grateful day
