Before I get too far into a recording session with a new mic

I would like to know if the setup sounds OK - does this 'warm up' blast
sound any good *micwise*..??

Is there any decent *stereo image* apparent?




Yup - the image is there ok. The mics aren't quite coincident though,
they need to be angled slightly more towards each other until the two
diaphragms are right over each other. At the moment you have about an
inch of separation, which would give you a comb filter null at 5kHz -
still low enough to matter. (on a mono mixdown of course).


Ha! Just sent that to you direct!!

(Note to all assembled here - Don is mentoring me on all things
*recording*...!! ;-)

OK, so the meshes would be what - crossed right in the middle or just past
that to form an angle at the 'far end', IYSWIM...??

(Not that I'm too bothered about 'mono compatability' as you know....)
