They are lined up almost directly under the PA so they stay in pretty reasonable time with it. Neither PCCs or large diaphragm condensers fit the bill but the shotguns were money because they reject so much of the stage bleed and even PA bleed. You'll have to play with the positioning because small changes make a big difference in what parts of the crowd you hear, but I think they would probably help regardless of the size of room. Ours are entry-level Audio Technica from Sweetwater - $225 or so a piece. The ambience stuff took a HUGE leap forward when we started using shotguns as the primary source for the IEM extras channel.

Thanks! We use Avioms and I'm using SCL5's...man, I wish my IEM mix sounded like these :) I think it's really the ambient mics that make the difference. I've experimented with them, but always ended up with them sounding funky. I'm guessing that's cause we're in a smaller space. But if I put them on the front lip of the stage towards the seating, I get too much drums and they are usually "time delayed", And if I put mics further back in the audience, I get either too much PA bleed or again, the funky time delay. The only way I got them to work was to put a big ole' gate on them, so when the drums kick in they jump down. But then the ambient mics only really serve us during non musical times. Any suggestions?

I myself never like to hear the click either. I also don't like to push my bass in my monitor that much up as I find it makes me not play consistently as I would like. Too much of me and I play too light. But every now and then....GIMME SOME BASS!!!! LOL!!! Man, glad your not gonna have a chance to post any of my IEM mixes!!! Not a bad series Tim.

I leave that to the drummer and play with him, rather than us potentially competing for being on the 1. good series, Tim That is likely how I would have mixed the click as well.
