Ambient Stereo Recordings by Mike French
TFH — A Journey to the Impact Zone
Line Audio CM3 sub-cardioid pair as XY90º clamped to balcony rail, with 90º drop down
Sennheiser MKE2 -> DPA MMA6000 preamp, as spaced PZM-BLE at 12’ spacing, taped tight to balcony face; and in tight to a steel angle frame, to isolate the far spread mics even more from each other.
Tascam DR70D 2448
Sennheiser MKE2002 Güde Binaural -> Edirol R09HR 2448, clamped to the balcony rail clamp rig (clamp on clamp bonus points added to please the recording gods)
From first row, center, of balcony; apprx 17th row, center from stage
Six Mic Mix = omnis (all) at +4dB over the CM3 XY pair.
Some compression added to all ovations.
A stepped gain was added leading up the Ukrainian National Anthem, as it was quiet and somber in comparison to the Fanfare that followed.
Now, a pair of pics for my brothers in audio geekery,... the rigs.
Güde was going all gangsta. And, directly below his chin is my CM3 pair, as XY Coincident stereo
There was a lady patron who came up to me, and had to learn about the cute head that I had flying. Güde,... a great wingman.
Recording bag velcroed to handrail, to keep aisle clear, as it was really tight there, and tripping someone, well, its a good 15+, 20' drop to the chairs below.
check back,.... next post: links to this melange of microphones.
