Thank you Aaron for your prompt answer.
My objective is to capture the ambiance in a way not so directional as in t=
he ms
setup. Do you know how it works differently in headphones and in the room w=
ith
two channel stereo left and right?
Walter Tilgner naturecordist in Germany, James Boyk pianist and sound engin=
eer
in California and Chesky records are examples for blumlein uses, Do you kno=
w or
anybody knows other examples.I would like to listen these examples.
I make my own windscreens and mountings and I am thinking to mount one
windscreen with half the micros outside, the rear part of the two micros
outside, the problem is the wind in the two holes but you can put two litle=
circles inside the windscreen in the micros body, these circles don't need =
to
touch the windscreen and they act as a barrier to the wind.
Best regards,
Jos=E9
