An ongoing collection of parallel recordings in which a mid-side array with an omni microphone as the mid microphone is compared with a pair of omni microphones in an AB array (usually with 63 cm spacing).

A subset collection from a broader series of experiments that are being made exploring various characteristics of the mid-side array, and also sometimes comparing mid-side with other arrays.
