Hi Rob,
Yes, I was using my baffled NT1A rig. And though I use 60 deg as my default=
angle between mics, something came over me in my late night grogginess and=
I rotated them out to +/- 100 degrees. I am not sure that was the best de=
cision for this location, but I have noticed that using the baffle preserve=
s overall localization independent of mic angle. The "hole in the center" w=
as aimed slightly downward toward the center of the small lake. Hmmmm, make=
s me wonder...
