Just want to pipe in with enthusisatic praise for the VP-88 - one of
the best and most versatile mic investments I ever made. Recording a
string quartette in performance, micing overhead drums, stereo ambience
and nature sounds (though the side capsule is a bit noisy) and way up
on a 15' stand recording a symphony, or using just the mid capsule as a
voiceover mic, it has been excellent in every application for me. What
about adding a parabolic to it for your purposes?
