Jecklin disk and omni mics , for ambience recording?

[Mikkel Nielsen]

Hi there

Is this way of recording used for ambience recording in post?

I got an upcoming museum sound job, where the audience will listen to a historic sea battle, through earphones. I would like to use the Jecklin disk and some omni mics, for recording, the wind, water, and walla ambs.
Is this a good solution?

Best wishes, and thanks alot

The Jecklin disc would do a good job.
Also Soundman, a German company, make a wonderful range of binaural mics that fit 'in ear'. Might be 'interesting' to use them in windy cobditions though, but getting a decent windshield around a Jecklin disc would be fun!

I use a Jecklin disc for recording ambs somewhat regularly. I like the technique, but it's not great for everything. It's very bulky, and wind protection can be a problem, though Omnis suffer less from wind noise than cardioids. I can usually get away with just having the foam windscreens over my mics unless there is a real breeze. It's a useful rig to have in the arsenal.
