Klas:
I use a monaural Telinga with an MKH 20 mike. So all I'm doing is using a
Y-connector to add an additional mike (in this case another MKH 20 omni) to
the input of the tape recorder. I'm also re-wiring the XLR cable to this
omni in order to reverse the phase. I can then move the second omni around,
placing it within the reflector, along it's edge, or wherever to get the
optimal noise reduction.
