Interesting little piece on how many microphones they use and what types.

I think this URL should work.

For once something really interesting.

Ah, the good old Shure SM57 - what a mic!

I have a recollection at one time they used the Calrec unit
(Soundfield?) that had a 'Blumlein' crossed pair at the front and a
single rearwards for effect hung above the conductor, with two 'fillers'
half way across each side on the front line of the orchestra.

I have a feeling this thread will be one of those that grows without boundaries!

As she says, they use a large variety of placements to suit the
performance being made. Ranging from a flying spaced pair over the
conductor's head to spotting every instrument...
