Not w/ Schoeps, folks, but with a double Sennheiser kluge system, butt
to butt, reversing the channels on stereo playback recordings from a
wildlife bird refuge with about 10,000 snow geese taking off and
landing periodically. Recorded with 2 sync'd 722s. Four-channel
playback was impressive but took lots of tech to set up properly so
that a relative few could enjoy for a relatively short period of time.
More a pain in the ass in the end...the main problem with these
objectives. Generally, Schoeps systems have been problematic in humid
environments, the reason I sold all of mine a few years back. Great
stereo imaging, a bit noisy, lousy in fog or pending rain.
