Topic: Point and Shoot !

Might. Beer goggles for more than oogling.   As you can see I cut and arranged the cardboard to get the mic vents as flush to the surface as possible to limit reflections and leakage, but that may not be as important as just using something to increase the seperation somewhat.

Of course you could eat the bangers and mound up the mashed, Close Encounters style for pub gigs.

Thought I'd add a comp to this thread with a Teac VR-10 and a Marantz PMD-661. The band is Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams @ the Iron Horse in Northampton, MA. The VR-10 (omni) was set on top of the 661 (cardioid), in between the Marantz's mics. The files were peak normalized and are within 1dB RMS of each other. To me the Marantz sounds warmer/smoother and the Teac more transparent/lively. Hmm...now which source goes to the LMA?
