Yes, they were laterally seperated by about 1/2 meter, on a modified
gregga array. See the photos here (though not of the Sennheisers,
it's the same configuration, sans Jecklin disk).

(gregga array: http://www.gregweddig.net/gear.html about halfway down)
For a windscreen I used a pair of Schoeps W5D, which are a sphere of
foam, with a light layer of fabric over it, with an air gap between
the mic and the foam, like a mini zeppelin.

They are about 18" or 0.5 meters apart.

I will try to post a short 24/96 sample later today. There is a
definite difference in the sound between the two, which I realized
isn't quite as apparent once the MP3 conversion has had it's way with
the files.

I only have a single omni (MKH 8020), and I do not have an MK2, but I
will try to contrast my DPA 4006 with the 8020. And later as I have
access, the MKH20 and 40.
