Title: weird config suggestion while at RockyGrass - anyone heard / tried it?
Post by: Brian Skalinder on August 17, 2005, 01:48:41 PM
The Trey Indy phase (http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=48328.0) thread reminded me about a suggestion some guy at RG made while I was setting up my C414s.  He suggested a coincident setup of:

mic 1 = card facing forward
mic 2 = omni, but "flip the switch on your preamp to invert its phase"

I explained that I had other plans for configs (XY cards and Blumlein), and didn't have a phase inversion switch to do so, anyway.  The reason for posting:  anyone ever heard of doing something like this?  Tried it?  It just seemed bizarre to me and I honestly didn't give the suggestion the time of day.
