So they're saying it's hard to 'aim' the mics in a large zepplin? I
have the Rycote stereo zepp, the largest one they make, it's still
pretty clear which way to aim them, I honestly don't think this is
much of an issue. As long as the zepp has 'some' directionality to
the way it looks, it'll be fine. I can see if they were all just in a
large round sphere or something, but it's not really an issue with
any zepps I've ever seen
