i prefer ORTF personally, but i have a friend who swore by running them coincident, XY.

try a little of both provided you've got the means to mount them appropriately...

You might want to go to the DPA homepage and check into "Microphone University."  It has a lot of good info on setting up mics and some basic "why's."

do you run ortf with a vark bar and some mounts?

Just want to be careful we don't give someone the wrong idea.
Running 4v's in a schoeps ORTF bar does NOT give you 110*, it gives you 70*

i prefer to run them on a vark bar.

When you use the ortf bar, the way the diaphragm is situated inside the capsule, sound can bounce around on the inside of the capsule. not necessarily audible...

but i prefer (when possible) to run them vertically, and adjust the angle as needed (ortf, din, etc)

the Vark bar, imo, is indispensable when running the 4v's and pretty darn handy other times too

many a good fob has been made with them on an ortf bar in a hat (at 70 degrees.)
