Actually, the EM172 capsules are omni.
One needs to use the EM184 capsules to get a cardiod pattern and that is re=
quired to do ORTF. Don't use the the EM172s for that purpose.
That being said, there are ways to record with spaced omni capsules (just s=
eparated in the air), but although the result may be useful, it will sound =
differently than ORTF.
Make some recordings and experiment. Tune things until it sounds good to yo=
ur own ears.
Good luck to you!
