heathen:
Going just by the numbers it looks like there's not much bass to be had with these, but that's to be expected with shotguns right?

Gutbucket:
You probably already know what I'll suggest with respect to that-

Try one of these (or pair- coincident X/Y PAS) in the center between a pair of widely spaced omnis. In which case the reduced low end sensitivity becomes a positive feature by not cluttering up the bass the omnis provide.

illconditioned:
I've made some very nice recordings from the back of chatty rooms using AKG C747 mini shotgun microphone.  I expect these to be similar sounding, probably quite a bit better.

They act like a hypercard at low frequencies, and focus with higher frequency.
If you are on axis, the response is very smooth.

Yes, the bass rolls off a bit, but most venues have too much bass already.

Would love to try these out some day...
