by what method do you determine the proper spacing distance between a
pair of omnis? i have read the general rule about 1/3 the soundstage
width, which may be about right for a small ensemble on a stage. and i
have read the earthworks literature that talks about very closely
spaced pairs (like almost coincident, or only a couple of inches apart)
for close-micing solo instruments in the studio. i have also read of
omnis spaced 3 feet apart and 4 feet out for solo instruments. what
are your thoughts and experiences for both soloists in the studio and
small ensembles in a live venue? thanks.
