serve you well to experiment with Blumlein shuffling and try a baffle betwe=
en them. IIRC he used shotguns in some of his experiments, and the processi=
ng matrix achieved greater "reach" than with a single microphone. The other=
obvious improvement is that with two microphones you are picking up twice =
as much signal.
