Thanks David,
Its my intention to use twin AT4022 mics with the Sony PCM M-10 and the Art
Phantom 11 power supply. I would like to build a spaced timber baffle, to mount
the mics. Are you able to tell me on the rig that you used, the distance
between the mics, and the setback from the leading edge?
I realize that there are many variations out there, but being non tech I have
to start some where. If anyone else in this group has built similar, please
feel free to respond. One last question. What is the audio difference between
the above and using the AT4022's in a modified Crown SASS unit?
Many Thanks,
Paul
