I have a brochure on it. It's back-to-back cardioids. Can't do MS
with that array.

It seems it may be possible to get something like MS out of a dual-membrane,
but only in post-production, with M = omni and S = figure-8. If so, and if the
TL44 is rugged enough, I may go with it for 'MS' at the cost of being able to
hear only '180 degree XY' stereo on-location.
R.e "just do it", I certainly don't want to be one of the music people moving
this group away from 'applications' and into 'tools': but such is the curse of
the newbie. I am very interested in hearing about the applications (i.e.
nature) too. I want to get decent equipment, as this may be the LAST spring
when the frogs croak in my backyard (encroaching development).
