I am in need of suggestions for miking techniques. I am recording a 50 voice
choir, and would like to hear your recommendations. The auditorium is 75' W x
100' L x 40' H (semi-domed). I am currently using  a troika of AKG 170s for
choir pickup, with a Shure SM 58 and an AKG 190 for the soloists. The mikes
are arranged:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|               oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo			      |
|		ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo			      |
|		ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo			      |
|		ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo			      |
|		 ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo			      |
|		   ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo			      |
|		     oooooooooooooooooooooooo				      |
|									      |
|		 *					*		      |
|		/		*			 \		      |
|				|					      |

Please mail suggestions for repositioning, pan placement of the mix, new mikes,
or whatever else you care to comment on. 

Many thanks,
