(I don´t find the response in the Schoeps site)

OK, try this paper by Williams: http://www.rycote.com/images/uploads...honic_Zoom.pdf

According to ImageAssistant you need to increase the distance to 33 cm instead of 30.

EDIT: I received my CCM22 pair from dear Douglas, and they are nice. I've used them as voice and choir spots so far; they gave a hauntingly realistic representation of the you boy soprano singing. A very nice addition to the collection.

Thanks Boojum and HJones…
Your links are really useful…
According to the Williams curves I have a distance of… 34 cm!
I have the same result in the image assistant…

- Recorded with a Nagra LB at 192/24 (samples at 48/24)
- ORTF 17cm 110º
- The piano is a Yamaha C7 in a small wooden hall.

Link to Sample 1: in the crook 6 feet far / 8 feet height
Link to Sample 2: in the curve near the tail, 6 feet far / 8 feet height


The same samples in mp3:

Do you happened to have a recording of your 22's out of your edirol interface? I would really like to hear a comparison of the nagra and edirol with the 22's, with the same mic placement in both clips. (Preferably from Sample 1's location)
