| Thanks everybody for your help and all the information provided.
I always heard and read (and seems to be common prectice) that spots are mono. Everytime I did this, the soloist would appear too much to one side and, as someone has stated in the thread, "pasted".
I have recently read a book by Andrew Hallifax, in which he recommends using spot mics in pairs. It made sense to me, so decided to ask the question in the forum and see what the "quorum" is.
I think I will go for a M/S set up, as it will give total mono compatibility in case I want to stick to the mono spot approach (I don´t think so, but just in case), and it will give me the chance to adjust the stero spread at will.
I will be using a Crown SASS as a main pair (new acquisition, and looking forward to use it!), plus two outriggers (Telefunken M16 MkII) and the spot for the soloist (Peluso P).
Again, thanks for all the info. |
