[QUOTE="karel.will, post: 469, member: 168"] Hi, I've recently been forced to amplify a traditional play. Like a musical, but without the singing... [img]http://www.soundforums.net/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif[/img] One night I tried with 2 AKG C-568's on very little stands, next to the infills on the front of the stage, aimed up/in. Combined with 4 Shure Beta91's on the lip of the stage. Last night they gave me 4 Sennheiser MKH 416's, and I tried these like the C-568's. What I noticed: The C-568's were rather useless, and I couldn't get the Shure's to not sound like a bathroom. That night the actors weren't projecting very good. Last night, better actors, and the MKH's sounded rather nice, but I would have liked a bit more volume. So, anybody has some advice? I thought about flying some overhead mics (Neumann KM184's?) but that would definitely have to be flown in sight, so probably a no-go. I'll have to do this again in the future, so I'm looking forward to some useful tips and tricks here... Thanks! Karel. [/QUOTE]
