Nov 9, 2014 at 23:16 comment added leftaroundabout @JasoonS rg. last question: "audio occlusion" between mics should not be neglected, but it's generally less of an issue than one might think. In particular large-diaphragm mics consist mostly of air, as it were, and small-diaphragms are "invisible" to all but the smallest wavelengths – low- and midrange sound diffracts easily around them. Unless you literally press the mics together, it shouldn't matter.
Nov 9, 2014 at 17:56 comment added JasoonS @leftaroundabout In your first point do you think that when the mics are so close to each other that the body of the other opposite mic could cause acoustic interference (if that's the right term) for sound from certain directions? Or does having the mics picking up sound in phase like this outweigh any such disadvantages? (hope it's not a silly question)
Nov 9, 2014 at 17:47 comment added JasoonS @AJHenderson Thank you! I was going to specify that as soon as I got the chance.
Nov 9, 2014 at 16:48 comment added AJ Henderson I'm 95% sure he's talking about the second situation. The mic stands weren't long enough so he had overlap of coverage from which there could be phasing issues, in addition to the stereo image issues you mentioned. I totally agree about the stereo image issues too though.
