Hi Have you checked out the new rode NT4 ?? It has 2 capsules mounted as a coincident pair. Seems like it would do exactly what you want. I have never tried them as they are new, but they are plastered all over the magazines and web sites in AU and are getting rave reviews. regards LjGarrett ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Lennox To: Logic OT Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 1:18 AM Subject: [L-OT] OT: Stereo microphone Hi There, I need to buy a good stereo microphone. I'm recording some live jazz quartets and trios. I currently have a cheap audio technica which actually does a good job but is battery powered and has bad noise floor etc... I need a mic that can be phantom powered preferably and which can pick up everything from double bass to sizzle cymbals. Anybody have any good suggestions? I was also considering going with an M-S matrix, but I am recording straight to MD (I know, but its far from a paying job..) and one of the Spirit potable mixers (ie. only four input channels and two stereos with phono inputs...) . If I do decide to go with the M-S what would be a good figure eight microphone? I already have a RODE NT1 which works great for a 'center' microphone. ANybody have any experience recording live with a minimal mic setup (I should add its a small room and mic placement cannot be in the audience, they get rowdy... :) ) cheers -- 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 -- Yahoo!
