And imaging of the setting as well! A powerful sense of the distant
sound horizon across the middle while preserving distinct
articulation to the sides. It find it a challenge to get the lower
mid-range frequencies to define depth across the middle. Did you make
it with your baffled NT1-A cardioid pair angled at approx 60 degrees?
