Pros will sound great on one mic regardless of what it is. Those that
can't blend acoustically will require all the tricks that you can use and
still not sound great.

Ain't that the truth!!!!

I was a pro singer in NYC for around 20 years.
In the 1000's of dates, I've done, I have never done backs with more than 1
mic for group 3.
Let the guys sing the parts in unison, so they can think about blending
,with out having to worry about different notes.

Usually I like to track one singer at a time or mic individually but
this
group wants to sing together in the same room. Got a big beautiful

room for them but could use some micing advice. My available mics a

2 - Rode NT 2's
1 - Neumann TLM 103

Use the 2 Rode's and the TLM103. Figure out who sounds better on what
mic and roll with it. Are these BGV's or a Cappella, or what? It could
make a difference. I would arrange them like this: Everyone on their own
mic. Two singers facing each other. The 3rd facing inward, perpendicular
to the other 2. Think of it like this, everyone is facing the center of
the circle. One is at 0 degrees, another at 90 degrees, the 3rd is at
270 degrees.

If you can check it out, I think the current issue of EQ magazine has an
article By Lynn Fuston that might offer some suggestions for this
situation.
