Hi Group -
This is my first post in this section. Tomorrow I'm set to run sound for a high school jazz (horn) ensemble outdoors. I'm planning on using two 57's in a "Y" pattern for the group coverage. Also - another 57 or two for solos.
Am I way off on the "group" mics? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

What is your total horn config? How many sax, bones, and trup? How many folks you playing to? And what kind of style music.

Should be 250+ in the crowd. I've got 5x15' EON's for coverage.

Divide the band in 3 like this, place the mics where the x's are
-----X-----X-----
Place them overhead of the band at about the same distance as they are from the outside edges. Or a little closer if this is impossible.
