I'm a know-nothing but my guess would be that only an
experiment would tell you the answer. Listen to something
that stays in one place, like a cricket or tree frog
chirping, and then try different mic positions.

be placed, in relation to the umbrella's central shaft? I am asking
this because I've been trying to use a test tube clamp in order to
hold the mics in place (micS because I'm also doing experiments with
the Sony ECM-MS957 stereo mic), but this clamp is not able to make
the mic point precisely to the center of the "pseudo-parabola".
