Subject: [L-OT] OT: Stereo microphone


Hi There,

I need to buy a good stereo microphone. I'm recording some live jazz
quartets and trios. I currently have a cheap audio technica which actually
does a good job but is battery powered and has bad noise floor etc...

I need a mic that can be phantom powered preferably and which can pick up
everything from double bass to sizzle cymbals.

Anybody have any good suggestions?

I was also considering going with an M-S matrix, but I am recording straight
to MD (I know, but its far from a paying job..) and one of the Spirit
potable mixers (ie. only four input channels and two stereos with phono
inputs...) . If I do decide to go with the M-S what would be a good figure
eight microphone?

I already have a RODE NT1 which works great for a 'center' microphone.

ANybody have any experience recording live with a minimal mic setup (I
should add its a small room and mic placement cannot be in the audience,
they get rowdy... :) )

cheers
