Title: mic positioning A-B, X-Y, HRTF or...
Post by: Napo on March 23, 2010, 10:23:11 AM

I am trying to make sense of all these acronyms  ??? for mic positioning.

Please help me to decipher them and to understand.

A-B and X-Y: these are pretty straight-forward positiong but why and when using them?

The other acronims, HRTF and others, just escape me.

Thanks in advance for your insights.

I just noticed that DPA has a SACD disc with stereo microphone comparisons done on a piano.  This might be cool to check out (top right of matt's link above).
