Thanks Roger-- sorry.
And spaced omnis can be great for capturing reflections-- helping
sounds stand out from a space in a more revealing way.
Most of the Schoeps seem to have around 14-16 dB inherent noise and
lower sensitivity than the mkh 20-- they should produce quite an
increase in noise and transparency. Perhaps it's something in their
response, like better hi end ? Good to know you enjoy your 105's.
Best--
