There was discussion of whether there is such a thing. And I considered two mics in one device is kinda half way between one and two.

I use my C-24 because of the mind boggling sound that comes out of it. And I can pretty easily just hang it from the ceiling in the middle of a concert hall and get an outstanding recording. Should have said 'used' instead of 'use'. I got out of the recording business when digital audio came along, and became a computer geek -- computers are as much fun as tape recorders... MS is trouble because of the transformer(s) used to decipher the cardioid/bidirectional mic patterns. Jeremy's post explains all this pretty well. -- Glenn English
