Mic set up.....

[thomasdrv]

How do you guys set up your mics ?
ORTF, DIN, RAI, NOS AB.
I got a pair of Bruel & Kjær 4035 and I wonder what's the best way to put them up ?
Rock or jazz are mostly what I record..

Change the capsule type, distance and angle between the mics, and see how the apparent angle changes.
Dropdown on the left lets you pick the standard combinations.
