> AKG has a great MS mic.. bit too expensive for me at $4,500, but thanks for the pointer (I would like to have it, mmmmm) I had a look around and the Project Studios c3 does a figure eight. I was going to buy this one anyhow so I think I'll go with that for the Side signal and use my RodeNT1 as the mid. Found a link to a site that shows how to do M-S with three channels and a special splitter cable, not sure yet how to handle the phantom power issue... http://www.modernrecording.com/articles/soundav/link2.html Has anyone noticed how addictive it is to record bands in a live situation with a minimum amount of mics? Multitracking can be a real drag as you keep putting off decisions until later (coz you can...), its a nice change having to make decisions there and then :) -- Mark Lennox Technical Consultant ENDUSER Suite 40 Guinness Enterprise Centre Taylors Lane Dublin 8 Ireland Tel: +353 1 4100 665 Fax: +353 1 4100 985 web: http://www.enduser.com --
