Converting mid-side input to stereo (Stereo Link Mode)
This technique converts to stereo signals input from a direc-
tional mid mic that captures
sound in the center and a bidi-
rectional side mic that captures
sounds from the left and right.
You can change the stereo width
as you like by adjusting the side
mic level.
Since this technique can capture
a wide stereo image, it is ideal for
recording wide open spaces with
numerous sound sources, includ-
ing orchestras, live concerts and
soundscapes.
This technique is also extremely
effective when you want to adjust
room ambience. Since it offers a
high degree of freedom, it is used not only in studios but also
for a wide range of recording—even of rehearsals and live
performances.
