Topic: Explain the Schoeps "V" capsules to me?

[taperdave1998]

Just wondering what the appeal is? If they're just side-address versions of the MK4, MK41, etc. capsules, what benefit does that produce? I'd think it would be a little harder to measure angles for ORTF and whatnot without having the mic bodies running parallel to the face of the capsules. Easier to stealth? Enlighten me, tapeheads!
