Hi there,

I was looking for a stereo pair of mics to record some live shows in Chicago
next week and need a suggestion. We are going to rent two mics to record
the PA for archival purposes--not for release. The band is a standard rock
setup...the club has a very good PA, probably 400 capacity, gets pretty
loud. Would pretty much any decent condensers work or is their a set that
people have had good luck with in this type of situation?

Thank you very much,

Brian

You want small diaphram condensers, pretty much anything will meet archival
needs.

Stereo Mic -
AT825 or Rode NT4

Spaced pair -
Rode NT5's or AKG C480's
