We have had a few posts in the past that mention wide spaced Omni's.
I thought I would post a couple examples from yesterday for those
that wonder what that does.
As you can see I posted types of sounds not the ideal pretty
recordings.
You decide for yourself if it has value as it is a bit different.
Technique here was two ME-62's spaced at 50 feet
First example: Planes, Cranes, and a loon, 260kb download
This is the what happens when a loud sound is almost directly off to
a side and the stereo image starts to get lost.
With a very loud signal completely on a side I am likely going to
choose my best channel and use only it.
But at least I had more land covered by having the wide spaced mics.

Second example: The wind with the warbler, 400kb download
Note that this wind gusting over 20mph sounds loud and strong but
appears to move slowly.

Third example: The quiet river a 350kb download
Quiet sounds coming from all directions.
The mind seems to "fix" the effect and solves the problem. Maybe for
you by placing you in a small valley or maybe standing a distance
from a large wall.

Just another technique that you can keep in mind. Now you can decide
if I should have used 100' spacing or maybe 200'.
