Hey Deej, what'd you use for the room mics? Another thing I've
noticed is that using SDC's as opposed to LDC's seems to work
better (at least IMO) for room mics. Just wondering what you
went with.
I guess I do things backwards, compared to a lot of people, with
regard to overheads vs. room mics - I've seen plenty of folks
using SDC's for overheads & LDC's for room mics - personally, I
like the imaging you get from LDC's as overheads, and the - I
guess "smoother" (since a better descriptive term fails me at
the moment - less prone to picking up flutter, boominess, things
like that), and less-focused characteristics of SDC's for room
mics.

We used AT 4060's on OH's and some kind of Sony SDC mics for the room. These
mics belonged to Ed Stasium and I wasn't familiar with these Sony mics. They
are old, no longer manufactured and run on a very expensive and hard to find
battery. Bought him some of these batteries for his trouble. I had to order
them out of some place in Chicago.
I'll probably be talking to him in the next couple of days. I'll ask about
the mic. It's got a lot of *brightness* to it.

The Sony's - are they those ones with the sorta rectangular or oblong-ish
windscreen?

Nope. They were about the size and shape of an AGK C460B, but they were
metallic (silverish) colored IIRC.
