Hi all,
I found some images on the net about a strange mic setup by Michael Gerzon.
It is about a 3 point ( carlec ) star setup which apparently gives you a " real / perfect" fig 8.
I know different mic patterns can make new patterns and I also know how to make them.
But I have difficulties understanding how 3 mics with their capsules towards each other can make a fig 8. ( 2 cardiods back to back one out of phase is not that hard to understand)
Does anyone know how this works? Or can point me in the right direction..... Why they use 3 mics / is some matrix needed?
I like to expand my knowledge in this matter.. because I never have seen this before nor it is mentioned at school and I'm curious... Noooo extremely curious
