Positioning would seem less that optimal if carioid, for either end or
side-address. Maybe they are omnis ?

They are RE-20 or RE-27s from the look of it. It's hard to tell on the
video. Cardioid with a very tight pattern, but with variable-D bass
compensation so you can be pretty much anywhere in the pattern and sound
the same way.

The positioning is suboptimal because that's the way life is when you are
working live and have limited setup time and performers who don't always
stay where you put them. Live broadcast work is like that, which is why the
whole Variable-D thing exists.
