Its a very heavy rig for birding, however. The Rode and ME66 are fine
for monaural birding now, but neither mic is a ready match for a
partiuclar Mid-Side mic down the way. The Figure 8 mic options, as we
have discussed many times, are limited. I'd be inclined to look for a
used mkh 60 or mkh70 and add a mkh30 when budget permits or maybe go
for a spaced array using lower noise omni mics for ambience subjects.
Of course, you can replace the ME-66/Rode with an mkh 60 or mkh70 if
they prove to be a poor match for an mkh30. Rob D.
