[QUOTE="Joel Ashcraft, post: 125235, member: 1237"] Re: Bluegrass festival Jared, a very successful emcee from the genre, schooled me once on their setup. He has since passed on, but in the 20 years we worked with him, it went like this..... sm58 sm57 sm58 sm57 sm58 sm57 sm58 sm57 sm58 sm57 --5 positions on stage, with a (like stated before) singing mic, and a pickin' mic, for each position. Other than that, a di for bass (if applicable) or bass mic (we used an AT Pro 35 condensor for that - low profile clip on). There was another setup, which was a take on the single mic thing, which was 2 AT Pro 37r, on a stereo bar, in an X-Y pattern. Got great reviews with that.
