Default Ribbon for classical guitar

Lastly, a ribbon mic with a figure-8 pattern could be used as the side
mic in an MS pair, along with your Schoeps. It doesn't produce a
dramatic stereo effect, but it's interesting, it gives you a little of
the character of each of the two mics.

Cheers,
Nick


Ribbon (velocity) mics are 90 degrees out of phase with condensers and
dynamics (pressure). The combination Nick describes indeed would yield and
*interesting* sound.
