The Choir I am recording has 9 members, but as I noticed during their rehearsal, only 8 sings at a time.
Down on the audience, in the second row on the middle, I've got 2 C414s set up as coincident pair of cardioids hooked up to the Marantz. I'm recording in 48kHz sample rate, but for some reason I couldn't change the bit resolution. As far as I know, it should be either 16 bit (good) or 24 bit (very good).
As the audience is rather high class, I covered all the cables and a big reel of extension cable with a cloth, so the only thing sticking out is a piece of stand with 2 mics on it. I also put ropes around the 1 seat I used for equipment, so no-one hopefully will ruin my recording.
I am however afraid that it will be ruined anyway, as the mics pick up some very weird noise down around 100-150 Hz. I hope that it hasn't any higher frequency content. If not, it will be easy to eliminate. I'll try to switch the house fans off - up here I can hear them very well, they might cause the problem. But anyway, signal-to-noise ratio was OK as I was listening on the headphones. Well, I'll see on Monday.
I have done some pictures (and I plan to make some more) to be posted tomorrow.
For now I just sit and pray that they won't take longer than until 22:50, when the recorder will run out of space.
