Could you suggest an omni that would give good results but stay within my high school media budget? Obviously the Neumann M50 is out of play for us but I could go as high as 500/mic if I could get good sound in that price range.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/questions-about-using-a-decca-tree-arrangement#post-37231 Fri, 06 Jun 2008 10:59:33 +0000 Johnboy 37231@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>you'll want to have omnis, you'll want to be able to capture the room tone and reflections for a full sound.  i've simply put a couple of omnis on telesoping stands in front of the stage where the performance is and either plug into a recording device or to a mixer.</p> <p>John</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/questions-about-using-a-decca-tree-arrangement#post-37229 Fri, 06 Jun 2008 09:50:48 +0000 davefinnh 37229@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I have been doing some reading on miking orchestras so I can help my students improve the sound of their live event productions. I was intrigued by the Decca Tree. However, good omnis are very expensive and the trees themself are pricy as well. So:</p> <p>Do omnis have to be used in this configuration when miking a 20 piece school band?</p> <p>Has anyone ever made a decca tree and have a plan you's like to share?</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>David F</p>
