From: Federico on 6 May 2008 04:54 Hi, this weekend I will record an accordion 5tet. I've never done that before. Probably I will mic the players right hands, just in case I need them but I would like to record them all with a stereo technique. I need some suggestion on which one would be better. Place: small church (I haven't seen it yet) probably very reverberant. Instruments: 5 accordions, seated and placed in semi circle. The first and the last accordion are 2 meters apart (6 feet). The accordion on the far right is a Bass Accordion. Music: From classical to tango Mics pairs I can use: AKG C414ULS Oktava 012 /w the 3 capsules AKG C391 cardioid (or supercardioid, I'm not sure) Crown PCC160 http://www.crownaudio.com/pdf/mics/101062.pdf Sennheiser MD421 Beyerdynamic M201 SM Pro Audio MC01 http://www.smproaudio.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=49 M-Audio Pulsar http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/PulsarII-main.html (don't waste your money on these!!) Since I will not have an accurate monitoring (I will use AKG K240 headphones) I'm willing to record 2 or 3 pairs (channels are not an issue, I have 24 + 24 pres). My starting points are 1) Coincident cardioids 90� placed in the focus of the circle of accordions (Oktavas?) (or coincident supercardioids 180�???) 2) M/S (or Blumlein) with the 414s (or jecklin disk?) 3) Aproximation of Crown SASS using the PCC160s http://www.pugetsoundman.com/articles/stereo/binaural.htm What would you do? Thanks F.
