Curt,
I would generally agree with you, though I don't have any evidence of such=
. Most of my ORTF recordings are done in that same range. I think the gro=
und effect most likely provides a bit of a fuller sound, much like a PZM mi=
crophone would.
Mostly I am trying to keep the mics out of the wind, and keeping them low I=
find, depending on the geography, helps shield them from nearby highway an=
d city noise.
