Good, thanks! And...small or large diaframm ? Some use small for recording session.

@IOMERDOSOIO If it is for Ambience or main stereo microphone I would preffer Large Diaphram, Otherwise single instrument and spots are all small diaphram ok.

Thans you Sirmacho. See this video.

over head of violin there are a Schoeps with OMNI capsule.

Its strange ?

I dont undertand. Why omni and not cardioid ?

[sirmacho]

@IOMERDOSOIO If I had a chance to have more omni.

I would put as many as omni microphone as possible on the

classical insturments. Omni microphone are more flat and transparent than cardioid and very important NO proximity effect... never.

I can't use that much omnis cuz I couldn't afford it so far.

What I wanna have it is..

3 Nuemann M150 large diaphram omni's for the Decca Tree

[IOMERDOSOIO]

Very good micing!

Neumann, Schoeps and KM are cardioid or omini ?

Best regards

[sirmacho]

@IOMERDOSOIO DPA4041 tube omni for main AB micing

bunch of Shoeps and Neuman KM184 cardioids for the spot micing.
