CHOOSING A DSM Stereo Microphone Model FAQ ... - Sonic Studios

None of the single point microphones, ribbon microphones, or any of the other types posted as suggestions will work out for at least
lack of pressure type bass response regardless of what the posts claim and for other just as important stereo imaging requirements.
However, using these two (pressure type) omni microphones
spaced out in some manner is not enough for recording the spatial ambient sound in stereo that's also very important for making a
satisfying large size acoustic instrument recording.
A baffle needs be used placed between the two mics for the ambient stereo aspect to also be recorded faithfully.
Jecklin Disk type baffles are OK and far better than NO Baffling, but lack some important (HRTF) features for consistent results.
My site listed below has tips, reviews, mics, baffles, and sample sounds of pipe organ recorded with Sonic Studios (my own company)
DSM designed mic systems.
Suggested mic model: DSM-6S/H (headworn or using the LiteGUY HRTF Baffle)
