We got a loaner of an A-T stereo short shotgun to try out at a Nature
Sounds Society workshop a few years ago. It appears from A-T's web
site
<http://www.audio-technica.com/cgi-bin/product_search/wired_mics/mics_by_type.pl?product_type=Microphones%3A+Shotgun>
that it's been replaced by mics in their "BP" series, new to me.
I recall that it sounded good but in our targeted shoot-out it didn't
produce clear panoramic imaging. More of a clear center surrounded by
vague spaciality.
