Mics & Pre-Amp

Mic's

AKG C3000 > the old skewl ones with the Hyper/Card switch I will usually put (Card or Hyp) after AKGC3000(CARD) to tell the setting

(mine are Black and are not the "B" model)

FREQUENCY RANGE 20 Hz to 20 kHz
SENSITIVITY 25 mV/Pa (-32dBV)
MAX. SPL FOR 0.5% THD 140 / 150 dB 
EQUIVALENT NOISE LEVEL 14 dB-A
SIGNAL/NOISE RATIO (A-WEIGHTED) 80 dB

I run them X-Y @ 90Deg (most of the time) or ORTF

XY: The microphones were set up in a fashion that they were not set up facing the stacks, but instead are crossed like the xy-plane (Cartesian plane). Instead of the left pointing to the left stack and right towards the right, the right is set up on the left side, and left on the right side, and they are crossed. This provides more of a central sound.

ORTF (Office de Radio-Television Francaise) : This is a way in which the mics are angled at 110 degrees apart, 170mm apart, as opposed to pointed at the stacks. This is used at a very small distance from the stage, and usually only in clubs

My Pre-Amp

Edirol UA-5 with an Oade Digi Mod so that it is a stand alone A/D converter
