Dear John,
Blumlein array functions like any other coincident XY pair and hence
does not require any matrixing for deriving the L and R elements of a
stereo signal. The capsule pointing 45=FBto the left of the axis of
symmetry will provide your L signal and vice versa for the R channel.
Stereophonic Techniques: An Anthology published by the AES provides
very useful (technical) papers on Blumlein and M-S amongst other
stereophonic topics and will be a worthwhile purchase for any one
interested in stereo recording techniques. However it is worth noting
that the recording examples are limited to the realm of 'classical'
recording.
