Thanks, you are right. Sometimes, however, very clever slight adjustment is needed .... I cannot complain about my microphones (3 pairs of Schoeps, U87 ...), AD (Mytek), or preamps (Millennia, DACS). My only limitation is the size of the room.... and the sound it brings. I would love to have a private chapel nearby
