Talk about summing microphones reminds me of another WBAA story. For many years, up through the late 1980's, WBAA used RCA 44BX ribbon microphones for just about everything. When a guest was being interviewed in studio, they would sit across a small table from the interviewer with the 44BX in the center of the table. Since the 44BX is bidirectional, it worked great.
In the mid 1980's, we started using a pair of AKG D224E's for interviews. The pair was mounted on a single stand in the center of the table, one pointing at the interviewer and one pointing the opposite direction at the guest. Unfortunately, the mixer had no polarity reverse switch, so we just wired up a short polarity reverse cable for one of the mics. This worked out reasonably well. It's been years since I've worked there, but I think in the remodeled studios they have a lot more physical separation between microphones, so it isn't as critical to play polarity games. -- Timothy Stockman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timothy Stockman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35708 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
