If applicable, the soloist would be miked individually. It gives me more choices during mix time especially when there are other loud sources near by..
Hello Steve. Thanks for the Info!
Could you explain a bit more, what's the relation in between the two mics in the drawing? Is there a specific distance acording to their phase relationship? Are they cardioid? How do you aproach the distribution of the "straight stands with extension tubes" in relation to the stereo field? ....again, is there a rule about Phase coherence?
Thanks one more time............................Joaquin.
