Hi,

Part of my performance includes recording and sampling sounds the audience makes during a break down (e.g. the audience singing / saying things together). This will be in indoor theatres with approximately 1500 people.

Could anyone suggest the mics and mic configuration to capture the audience?

I'll be using Ableton Live to take these and loop / replay the audience through the PA.

This other posting was relevant, but I wasn't sure which configuration may be the best for capturing audible / distinct words being said by the audience (as opposed to the sound being ambient / distant):

What mic set-up would you use to capture a crowd?

Thanks!
