Peter,

I'm not sure how connecting two mics will help. If they are outputting
identical signals, a parallel connection will only affect the
impedance matching, but if the outputs are not identical, they will
interfere, especially at higher frequencies. I would expect to hear
"flanging" or "comb filter" effects.

If four mics are used for stereo, you could get phasing effects which
could blur the stereo image but, as ever, try anything to see what
happens, either series or parallel - and let us know. :-).
