David,
Yes indeed, it's the front-back coincidence aspect of the two cardiod (end-=
address) microphones that Martyn describes that I am looking to minimise. I=
can't yet see how how the taping of the two together can be done without s=
ignificant overlap of the microphones, leading to a front-back relative dis=
placement of their capsules.
Perhaps MKH40 capsules are not so close to the end of the body as is the ca=
se with the MKH8040's that I'm looking to use.
For single MS, I use SpectraFoo to compute the delay between between the M =
and S microphones ad try to adjust their positions so that is 1 or zero sam=
ples. Perhaps that is overkill, and maybe say an overlap of 0.5cm can be ac=
hieved for taping overlap (giving a coincidence error of .25cm either side =
of the S capsule) would not be too bad? A full wavelength at 10KHz is about=
3.4cm but I would think even a quarter wavelength non-coincidence is going=
to give some significant effects (.85cm)?
Thanks for the link to to the pdf. I have looked around at their stuff on d=
ouble MS but hadn't see this document. It will be very useful.
I had thought to use their double MS plugin, and adapt it essentially by eq=
'ing/level adjusting the inputs into it with their published specs for CCM4=
and CCM8 sensitivity and frequency response (and adapting for the Sennhies=
ers as well). Does this sound like it would be practicable?
Regards,
Ray
