Is stereo omni mic good for me?
"Jari Jokinen" wrote in message
understand why "stereo omni" doesn't make sense, but: http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cg...tegory=9275&te Ah, now it all makes sense. When the term "stereo mic" is raised in pro audio circles the mental image that it conjured is of two capsules mounted in a single body, like a Neumann SM69 or an AKG 422. When the phrase "stereo omni mic" was raised in this thread I thought it was pretty "out there", because the idea of two omni capsules placed coincidentally is not useful (nonwithstanding the excellent point about omnis being somewhat directional at high frequencies). But if your concept of "stereo omni mic" is based on the mics pictured on the website you listed then that's fair enough. What I can't really understand or appreciate is the comments by Mike Rivers about Bruce Swedien using a Blumlienpair of omnis? A Blumlien pair by strict definition is a pair of Bidirectionals at 90 degrees to each other, oriented at 45 degrees to the sound source. Omnis have nothing to do with it ever. Some people do Blumlien MS; the derived stereo configuration using a figure 8 M and a figure 8 S (of course) is a true Blumlien pair. Furthermore I would be grateful if Mr. Rivers would clarify the comment; "Or maybe he's hoping that he can get a surround recording (with direction cues for things in back as well as in front) with an "omni" mic." Are you suggesting that a pair of omnis can encode multichannel surround? Or? |
