[QUOTE="Brian Bolly, post: 81747, member: 32"] Not necessarily a DC thing. I used the underhead setup on tour last summer (band was from TX) and although the rest of the kit was close mic'd as well and everybody was on IEMs, it reduced setup time and allowed me to single out the ride and main crash on the kit (time and punctuation, respectively). I had used a similar approach years ago, but as a MON engineer with IEMs, it allowed me to be a little more surgical with the "cymbal wash" in the ears. To me, the proximity of the mics to the cymbals made and improvement in an IEM situation vs a standard OH setup. I have not yet used the VP88/single OH model, but I suspect for IEM use it would respond similarly to standard OHs due to distance alone. [/QUOTE]
