Same thing with the ORTF and flanking omnis, about a meter or so. anything farther than 3m and you have to time align the mics to get the correct delay.
Teddy, I'm intrigued by this comment because I've been running "flanking omnis" a lot more recently with the use of the R4. In these situations, I tend to run one of two scenarios: (1) SBD + Split Omnis on-stage or stage-lip, or (2) Card stereo pair plus split omni pair either stage-lip or on-stage. These tend to be small jazz gigs (usually some variant of #2), but sometimes more orchestral/big band gigs (some variant of #1).
Anyway, I'm a total wook when it comes to the split omnis thing, and your comment got my attention. I've been running pretty wide splits, like 8' on different stands. Is that stupid? Should I just run on a meter bar instead? I tend to just use these flankers as supplementary sound to the main pair, so I haven't worked out my config too much, but I do like my results thus far (better than without some of the omnis). Also curious about this "delay-adjustment" you mention, should I be delaying the one omni to be closer in time with the other omni when they are spaced kind of wide? Would that help my imaging?
THANKS!
