Note the Sennheiser mounts on my M/S page are not stereo ones, but just
the regular mono setup with the two mics mounted inside. Note that won't
work with the Rycote modular system, can't get the two mics to suspend
properly inside the rings. Only stereo mount on that page is the
MKH-80s in the Rycote. That's the size of a small watermelon.
Eventually I'll make a new setup for those.
Stereo has huge advantages with the frogs here. There can be as many as
eight species calling in different locations in a wetland here. Stereo
allows you to localize them. It also gives a different location for that
unwanted noise than your callers. With mono everything is jumbled in
one spot together when you listen.
