I really enjoyed the results w/ the J-Disc (MK5's) from Langerado and was just curious if using a MK2 would have any major impact.
Form Juerg Jecklin's paper:
C. The Jecklin disc in practice
I. Microphones for recording with the Jecklin disc
For recording with the Jecklin disc, sound pressure microphones must always be used, i.e. "real" sound pressure microphones. Mircophones with a switchable directional characteristic, insofar as they are designed as double diaphragm microphones, may not be used.
From Schoeps:
The MK5 operates with only one membrane, but offers two selectable directional patterns. The pattern is selected purely by mechanical means, via a slide switch on the side of the capsule.
Is the MK5 a "real" sound pressure mic? And if not what is the impact in using it in a J-Disc configuration?
