Hammer Mark · 23rd September 2008

I'm doing M/S with two C414s. The resulting stereo recording is much louder on the left than the right. The M+S is louder than either the M or S and the M-S is much quieter. I realize there's some positive and negative interference going on with the sum and difference. Is there any way to avoid this or limit its effect?
