This recording demonstrates the advantages of using a single, high-quality pair of coincidentally mounted microphones. In this example the two microphones are encased in one body, the Extinct Audio ‘Valkyr’ BM9x2 Stereo Ribbon Microphone. The mic was set on a tall stand positioned dead centre, (angled slightly down towards the back of the choir), a couple of metres behind the conductor. No EQ or processing has been used.
