the M and the S.
I got to have fun with a choir recording today and I got a chance to set up a M/S pair in addition to some X/Ys.
I think I like the M/S best. I wish I did more of that stuff.
The best part was hearing the choir rehearse for their morning service... the sweet harmonies put a smile on my face.

Exactly. I'm experimenting with various phase relationships on several sexy curves just now. Nice kitty btw Alex...

I have and I haven't... I mean I have thought about... but I haven't done it. I was reading up about M/S yesterday as I was enthused and needed a refresher (and I've been reading about Ambisonic surround sound microphone work as well) and the thing is... a properly decoded M/S stream is mathematically equal to X/Y. The added feature of M/S is that you can "adjust" the angle of coverage after the fact. M/S is an X/Y system. When I said I used the other mics in X/Y I was doing the 90* coincident setup and was being lazy by just calling them X/Y. Or something like that. :-) best, mike

a properly decoded M/S stream is mathematically equal to X/Y Yes but I don't have the mics to do it properly (i.e the Side component comes out like 'wide mono') nor a slide rule so I just play about in my sonic sandbox and kick down any castles I don't like and build fortifications out of what I do like... I do have fun though even if I do have to sweep up all the sand that's spread out onto the floor every now and then. Regards Deacon Volve :->

Give me an omni and a box a sand and I can stay pretty happy.
