It sounds as if everything above 5 kHz was cut off somehow. A higher mic position could help, but I've got the impression that the mics are lacking HF anyway. > * a bit too dry for my taste Yes. > * lack of low-end - the pedal is more or less missing It's there but there could be a bit more... > * unpleasant ambience reproduction Difficult to say since there isn't much ambience. > * either the organ is intoned quite harshly, or there is slight > distortion at the microphone (quick shot, i may be wrong, only listened > once and no measurements) Well, this isn't a German organ. It also needs some maintenance, and the registration doesn't help. I don't fully agree on the benefits of using omnis. A *good* cardioid will reproduce the bass as well, even if maybe you need to EQ a few dB. And spaced omnis on organs or anything that produces long sustained notes can be a disaster for mono compatibility, unless they are spaced much more than a meter. And in that case you risk the 'hole in the middle' or you need at least three mics. Ciao, -- FA O tu, che porte, correndo si ?
