Tim,

You're right, of course, that MS has a 90 degree-wide image when used with=

cardioids (45 degrees off-axis on either side). But in practice I try to
narrow the field a bit to eliminate that screwy-sounding phased sound 90
degrees off axis. I typically turn my NT2000 pattern setting to the 2
o'clock position (about 25% of the way between cardioid and figure-8) to
deaden the mid response near 90 degrees. If I has a super cardioid or a
lobar mid mic the problem would probably take care of itself. I must admit=

to periodically pricing the MKH mid-side configuration using the 60 or
possibly a 70, but the price continually keeps me devoted to my current
setup.
