<<The decca was created for classical music recording so the spacing
between the mics differs based on the event being recorded. For those
who don't know a decca tree is basically a metal rail, 3-5 feet long
(1-2 meters), allowing 2 or more mics to be mounted at varying
distances. It is then easily hoisted into the air for concert recording.
As to how it has works in the field, I have generally been happy using
a two mic spaced omni array, which is essentially what a decca tree
is. >>
A clarification: Decca Tree is specifically a micing technique
involving 3 omni mics in a triangular arrangement approximately 2
meters wide, with the apex up to one meter in front. The term refers
more to the arrangement of the three mics more than to any piece of
gear which accommodates it, i.e. a Decca Tree can be done with three
mic stands. But in all cases it involves 3 mics, with the outer pair
hard left & right & the center mic panned center.
