Difficult question, I don't recall using the MX391O's around the head, cert=
ainly not containing the same environment which is unfortunate. It really w=
as a good recording, central image was quite "there" for me using HD25-1 II=
 headphones wing flapping and calls quite startling. Maybe try collapsing t=
he width down a little with MS processing pushing 1Khz up in the side chann=
el - how to do that is quite apparent if you use KU81i material into a matr=
ix and observe the mid/side response - theres what I call key crossing poin=
ts which over time will show the response clearly. if you can match based o=
n the size of head the rest is EQ. But it sounds fine as is so I doubt ther=
es much to do in this regard.

Nearly all the binaural recordings on my soundcloud are using single EM172/=
3's and the Sony D50. I have three MZK2002 heads, one is the original with =
mke mics, one using EM172's inside the ear canal, and another with EM172's =
mounted just near the concha volume.

This is the MZK2002 + ear canal mounted mics (single EM173's) with the Rode=
 blimp fur pulled over it dangling on a boom pole..

Same location but boundary mic's (not binaural using the MX391 omni's) & bo=
om.

Its perhaps better for me to setup a pair of MZK2002's one using the Primo =
capsules and the other with the Shure capsules taped to the side (pointing =
forwards) to compare them - Dual EM172's should be much quieter but the MX3=
91O highs probably continue for a little longer > 15Khz that is.
