Yes, but Tom's mic capsule diaphragms are mounted perpendicular to 
the boundaries. Perpendicular mounting seems to produce more front 
(center) "staging" in the stereo field compared to the flush mounting 
on perpendicular boundaries. In a surround rig, the arrangement might 
produce little more separation between front and back with warmer, 
slightly less articulate sides.

With perpendicular capsule mounting, the LF / LR  & RF / RR channels 
can still be paired as opposing omni's. It might be safer (in respect 
to timing/phasing) to pair-up the recorders/channels as front/back 
when recording on two, wild recorders. Rob D.
