Topic: AT822 as side / figure 8 mic?

[Will_S]

Anyone tried this? 

"Here's an interesting little capability that the AT822 can give you that
you wouldn't think of in a loooonnnng time.  If you take its XLR output
(which is really L and R) using a standard mic cable, and run into a
standard, balanced, differential input, the position of the capsules and
the phase reversal into the amp result in a very good figure 8 pickup
pattern.  I have run the polars in the anechoic chamber.  It works.  This
allows this mic to be used as the "S" in an MS set-up - very effectively
and very inexpensively. "
