[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 139336, member: 172"] Re: Micing Orchestra for broadcast. It will be easier to keep mics out of the shots if you use a traditional recording technique of mics in front of the orchestra. Which specific technique you use will depend on the room and the requirements of the broadcast team. Do you need mono compatibility (probably a good idea for broadcast)? Spaced omnis work wonderfully in some rooms for some music, and will be very easy to keep out of the camera shots, but is not mono-compatible. For that matter, ORTF and NOS aren't really mono-compatible either. If you need to maintain mono compatibility, you need to stick with a coincident technique (XY, Mid-side, Blumlein pair). Remember, the broadcast guys are likely going to be using more than just the wide, full-orchestra shot, so close micing or group micing may actually make it more likely for a microphone to end up in a shot.
