Hi Mark and John--
Seems like a manufacturer would have thought of removable mic
capsules to give the recordist the option to determine spacing, the
angle formed and use different barriers.
A tight-fitting block of high density foam between the M10's capsules
would provide more HF separation. Not sure how much this would help
though. The "opposing" capsule positioning that Sony uses already
makes content to the sides brighter. You'd probably still get a lot
of shared low frequencies in the middle as frequencies under 500Hz
wrap around small barriers. A foam divider might further reduce
treble presence across the middle and, likewise, localization around
center. Rob D.
