these would be the same for the c422, 'cos it uses the same pattern box, right..?
Seems a reasonable assumption, but again...another assumption to go along with the ones in the original post. Updated original post to reflect c422, as well.
Not sure about the C422, but C34 users note: it's not possible to set up Mid-Side correctly if one sticks with the traditional channel assignments of 1 = left and 2 = right. Viewed from the top of the mic, looking down its long axis, the top/right/side/ch2 cap rotates clockwise 180º relative to the fixed bottom/left/mid/ch1 cap. This means the top/right/side cap's positive (+) lobe in figure-8 points to the
right of the bottom/left/mid cap in Mid-Side. However, the standard for Mid-Side appears to call for the side channel's positive (+) lobe facing
left of the mid. The result of this positive (+) lobe facing right instead of left when running mid-side? Upon decoding, L/R channels are switched (
as explained here). To fix, simply invert the right/side channel prior to decoding, or assign ch1 = right/side and ch2 = left/mid.
