I have been using a modified Jecklin Disk first with Oktavas and now with Sennheiser 8020. It is 30 cm in diameter and has one to two layers of foam (thicker in the middle) + grey fleece cover. Mic separation has been about 17 to 20 cm.

Now Mr Jecklin has updated his disk to 35 cm diameter with 35 cm mic separation. Has any of you compared these two? What is the main difference?

I have used my disk for chamber orchestra and for organ. I would imagine that smaller scale sets like string quartets might not gain much if any from greater separation, but organ maybe, even using just AB with 60-90 cm separation with them.

So, is it worth making a 5 cm extesion ring and mic spacers for my rig?
