Mercury SR vs MG
Posted by michael22 on January 8, 2017 at 18:42:39:
Most of the earlier Mercury "Living Presence" classical records have liner notes describing the recording techniques used. The stereo records note that 3 microphones generally feed a 3-channel Ampex recorder. The mono versions of the same records note that a single omnidirectional microphone is used. I'm wondering whether the stereo and mono recordings were made simultaneously, or whether they were separate takes. Does anyone know?
