Re: [microsound] Can I make a MS mic from 3 WM-61a's?
Yes, you are right... WM-61's are omni. I posted this at
micbuilders@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - where it was intended to go in the first place
and got a similar answer to yours. I'm probably going with a stereo type
configuration and an amplifier. The guys at micbuilders will probably guide
me, they're very helpful.
Thank you for taking your time.
