But if the mic's are cardiods its near coincidence not Blumlein any more. Problem is that outside apparrently totally correct phase response, these techniques in the real world don't work particulary well. I started using near coincidence and blumlein techniques in my early days recording, but found out fairly quickly that there were other better stereo techniques, subjectively. Near coincidence systems are fine but tend not to really have a decent soundstage. It's pretty good at high frequencies, but drops off rapidly, and the ambient field is usually poorly represented due to poor off axis response. This is even more interesting as one get's into the field of 5.1 surround. We have just recently ordered a new console purely with the view to producing more of our output in surround, particulary that which is heading for DVD.Regards
