I will be recording in public places where, in many cases, the street

major
comb filtering problems, although I do not know whether the result will be
unpleasant.
One way to avoid this comb filtering would be to use a stereo boundary
mike
placed on the floor or sidewalk. A ray trace diagram suggests that above
1K,
with this arrangement, the mike could be positioned to pick up
considerably
less early reflection than a standard single-point stereo mike.
What are the more reasonable offerings of stereo boundary mikes that are
suitable for recording music?
Due to the rumblings of the infrastructure, the mike would have to be
placed
on a foam pad. Would this impact mike performance?
Hmmm, why dont you just go out with a couple of mics, with a
"busker",record something, and see what happens. listen to the
recordings, then try again, and see what works
Theory is fine, but you need to mix it with practice
I don't have the mikes.
