Re: Micing a play


A beta 91 is a kick drum mic. It has non defeatable pad built in, and a freq response that is working against you here. What you want is Crown PCC160's which are the standard for this sort of thing.






You have a few shotgun mics there to use. I would try and locate a few mouses to use which for the life of me I can't find a pic of.




It's figure 5 in this pdf http://www.electrovoice.com/sitefiles/downloads/EV_PABible-16-Add15-Barrier_Miking-1985.pdf




Basically it's a chunk of foam with a hollow spot where you slide a mic into and lay it on the floor. Put your shotguns in these and put as many as you can around the stage being mindful of the 3-1 rule. The proximity of the floor will get rid of the ''bathroom'' sound and should give you more GBF and a better overall freq response.




HTH!
