Hi Rob.
Actually, my whole line of questioning was directed at building a surround
array based on the ones I saw (and heard) you and Rich use in Wisconsin :)
Since I do not have the budget to build something from scratch, I was looking
to build an array incorporating gear that I already have, the Sennheiser MS
pair. So the two real requirements of this surround rig is 1) that one end of
it is MS stereo and 2) the deployment location will have extreme humidity. I
suppose number 3 requirement is microphone price, preferably under a grand. A
tall order which probably narrows the field to a few real choices.
Thanks for this array design recommendation - this gives me a great starting
point in building the test rig. Sounds like I was accidentally on the right
track (at least for my requirements)!
On the topic of preferable array combinations for surround recording... is this
something that you might have written up someplace?
Cheers
David
