So here is the question. How many pairs do you guys normally buy/build your snakes for orchestral recordings? It is rare that I use more than 2-4 mics but I used to use the occasional spots that would bring the count up. Anyone going with a modular setup? Say for lack of a better term detachable fans or boxes with various lengths of main snake.
Thanks

Thanks for they reply. Currently I'm running two Canare 12 pair
Thanks for they reply. Currently I'm running two Canare 12 pair TRS snakes-which one depends on the job, often no snake at all. One is 100' and one is 150'. I also have a 90' Canare stage box 8J12N12 that has the ability to attach another trunk/fan with an NK27-32 Canon multipin. I was anticipating in the next couple years some expansion in my concert recording and was trying to figure out if I needed to go another direction.

Hi
Usually I use 8 channel snake.
Actually I have two 8 channel snakes but there was just two concerts where I used both.
In addition I have pair channel snake on drum which is very handy and quite often I use one 8 channel plus pair channel drum.
I guess its difficult to record big orchestra with soloists (especially if there is a piano) without good snake. :)
