One thing I couldn't tell was whether he possibly had other room mics not shown in the picture? I didn't try very hard but I only counted 6 mics on stage. Possibly he had an X-Y pair out in the hall somewhere? It would be interesting if Giorgio could supply a room layout picture showing where the mics were, or maybe just a mix list? What a beautiful room by the way. Few and far between here in America.
