[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 208634, member: 52"] Pretty hard to reproduce what you hear exactly without using binaural microphones in your own ears and headphones for playback. For an "accurate" recording, try your various pairs positioned near your conducting position (just above your head works well) with the mic diaphragms directly above each other, angled outward to point near the outer portion of the choir. Cardioid mics (SM58) will tend to "hear" less of the room and more of the choir, which may sound better or worse depending on the room. Some prefer the sound of the microphones pointing out with a distance approximately equal to a head width, which introduces comb filtering similar to our ear spacing. Perhaps more "natural" sounding on headphones.. You can set up multiple pairs and audition them through headphones to make an initial choice. [/QUOTE]
