Hey folks,
I've collected a few omnidirectional mics over time & just curious what uses folk have found for these in Live Sound applications.
Thanks,

I get the bluegrass/folk application. Figured 'normal' (to me; classic rock bar band) stage & FOH SPLs would steer one to a more directional source for even drum o/h use.
Decent & half-decent Audio Technica mics. Unless a couple others have crept into the misc mic pile. |
