Thanks for the shout-out Dan. I have been using an ORTF configuration for =
many years. Though I use an MK21 capsule which is a "sub-cardioid" or wide=
cardioid. I believe the side cardioid is more forgiving with regards to a=
hole in the middle and provides a very wide soundstage. Not so good for m=
ono compatibility maybe but I don't care so much about that.
I have had some issues with the Schoeps in high humidity but I deal with it=
in the rare occasions it occurs.
Myles let me know if you have any questions.
