Generally, I find that cardioids produce the best results and I keep them, as usual, about 8-12" apart.
I hope this helps.
See ya on the Rocks,

hi Marc and all,
quick question. utilizing what stereo config exactly? point at the stacks method? just curious, as there is so much talk of Line Array systems/ mono vs. stereo/ height and placement of mics, etc. and yet the method you seem to choose is not one commonly chosen by experienced tapers as providing the best stereo image. curious as to your thoughts on this subject.
Happy Retailing,

btw: as long as i see you're over here price matching your competitors, what's your best price on a set of ak50 caps?
Hi Scott and All,
I generally run my mics aiming to the outside of the P.A. system. The more I like the sound of the venue, the wider I will angle the mics. To offset the narrower angle that results if I am positioned too far back to make a 110 degree angle, I space the mics a bit further apart (8-12" instead of the 170mm--6.5" specific by ORTF). Whether this works best on paper, in practice, or only in my own head, I'll leave to each individual listener.
As quantegy pointed out, I have written a detailed explanation of this on our website
www.sonicsense.com/micplace.htmAs far as your Neumann price request, due to the very competitive pricing we offer, you will have to call or email sales@sonicsense.com directly for pricing.
As you have inquired extensively regarding my posts, I think you may find the following book quite informative as it covers many of the issues I address.
Sound System EngineeringSecond Edition

This is considered by most audio professionals to be among the most useful resources in their library.
Happy Recording,
