I had to go back to page 2 of the thread ... Ah, memories ... So, you're asking about this pic?



Those are Milab DC-96Bs arranged in coincident X-Y ... as I recall, we had tried positioning them above and below each other, so that the center of each capsule formed a sorta "X" shape ... but then I asked the assistant to move them like this, so that the capsules were as close to coincident, but in a sorta "V" shape as possible .. and found that the stereo image was a bit ... well ... stereo-er like this. Probably because it was not quite as phase-coherent as in the top-bottom "X" config ... Rules, schmules, we went with this.

Hope that answers your question!

And wow. .. coming back to this thread has been a bit traumatic, as there really is no way to un-see Bob Clearmountain's buttcrack ... ... the horror
