Thanks for all of your positive comments on the Blumlein samples.
These are raw recordings with no processing. It was more an
experiment to see how Blumlein held up in a wide open soundfield.=20
One of the problems I encoundered was finding a windscreen to work
with this temporary arrangement. As it was I wrapped open cell foam
around the heads and got lucky the wind was light that morning. Dan
Dugan may have a picture of the mounting scheme I used.=20
Otherwise here is an example of what I did

For reference a short ORTF recording from later the same morning:
