If the mics are far from a source in a very reverberant space, you might be better served by SDC as they tend to have a smoother off-axis response. Also, omnis might be better for that kind of spectrum. I think that many cardioids are designed for flat LF response at 20 cm or some such short distance. On a distant source, they roll off the LF. I'd try a pair of cheap "measurement" mikes like the T-bone MM-1, Behringer ECM8000 etc. They're omni and the capsule is certainly small ! This is all theoretical, I've never done this. You could ask on rec.audio.pro. -- André Majorel http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
