Hello Chaps.
Long time since I've put a post up here, but I'm looking for some advice on the Armley set, which I'm planning to buy at some point in the next few months, cash flow allowing.
I'm currently redecorating my lounge / music room and I'm taking the opportunity to chase the speaker cables for the organ (and a load of other stuff) into the room, prior to re-plastering. The resulting audio layout will be something like this:
A couple of comments:
- arrows for the direction of sound egress from the speakers
- there's another room off to the left, through large double doors, adding about another 5-6m of length, which should give the woofer ("W") plenty of room to speak.
- channels 5 & 6 will actually be connected to a CD player, but can become available to the organ too if that's helpful.
Since I like to have a reasonable idea of how I'm going to use the thing on which I'm going to spend £350, before I spend the money, could I ask for some opinions on how to direct the Armley samples to the speakers?
In the simplest case, I could send a mix of the "chancel" / "nave" samples to 1 & 2 (+W) and the "surround" to 3 & 4, as indicated in the manual. I've done this with other 4-channel sets.
I also had a slightly crazy idea about running the "chancel" / "nave" samples for the Echo division through 5 & 6, the rest of the divisions through 1 & 2 (+W), and the surround for everything through 3 & 4 to attempt a German "Fernwerk" effect, but, as I said, pretty crazy.
What would you expert sound engineers do?
Does anyone know how the microphones were laid out for recording? I couldn't find anything in the manual.
I find the audio routing stuff in HW rather complicated, so if I have a reasonable idea of what I'm trying to achieve before I start, that will probably help navigate the configuration stuff! It'll also reassure me that I ought to get a good result with that Armley and my setup and I'll feel better about spending the money.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer,
Adam.
