Recording Jakob Lenz

Microphone setup

During the entire show there was water running down the stage, so the usual 'boundary layer' microphones were placed on top of the footlights.

With this setup we never had interference problems with the fluorescence lamps.

 The wireless transmitters were protected against the water on stage by plastic bag.

Orchestra

The orchestra only counted 11 members and was at a rather high level.  We installed a kind of LCR around the conductor with 3 DPA 4006 and added a U87 for the first Cello.  3 Schoeps wide cardio for the Wind instruments and 2 DPA 4006 with APE for the percussion. On the Clavecimble we installed a Schoeps ORTF and finaly one Sennheiser MKH40 for the Trumpet and trombone.  In the hall we hung as usual 4 microphones for ambiance on the first balcony.
