    • 2 microphones in figure-8
    • NOS (radio Holland) is similar to ORTF
    • w/ 30cm distance, 90 o angle • variation of the ORTF setup
    • Main difference is in the wide distance of 30cm
    • represents the depth of the sound being recorded • smaller angle (90o)
    • NOS sounds better in a wider room than ORTF or DIN
    • Stereo signal contains correct phasing, and intensity • but larger distance (20cm)
    • Tends to have problems with mono compatibility
    differences • Sound-body will have very similar
    • Does not represent the Center very well
    • Emphasizes Mids results to ORTF
    • NOS works if a greater distance is required
    • Works well for reverberant rooms
    • Layers of depth of sound body same as ORTF or DIN
    • Great for Ribbon Microphones

    • 2 microphones in figure-8
    • use of 2 hyper-cardioid
    • w/ 90 o angle
    • 2 Omni-directional microphones • w/ distance of 5cm
    • w/ 30-50 cm distance
    • w/ 50cm distance • w/ 135o angle
    • separated with separation disc
    • Microphones need to have linear diffusion field • sound characteristics and room-representation depends
    • separation disc about 50cm
    • Angle depends (between 45 – 60o) greatly on microphone type
    • great separation of L/R
    • great for acoustics not-so-good sounding rooms
    Stereo Techniques
    With body separator

    • 2 microphones in figure-8
    • w/ 90 o angle • 2 microphones are attached to a spherical body,
    • w/ 30-50 cm distance which acts as separation disc
    • separated with separation disc • Omni-directional Microphones
    • separation disc about 50cm • Great use of Omni directional microphones
    • great separation of L/R

    • 2 omni-directional Microphones
    • 2 omni-directional Microphones
    • 2 cardioid Microphones, directed towards the back, as close
    • w/ 36cm distance
    as possible to omni-directional Microphones
    • 35cm separation disc, covered with acoustic foam
    • Better representation of Side information
    • Great use of Omni directional microphones
    • Better representation of Room Reverb/Depth
    • Generally 60 o angle
    • Good use for large sound bodies (i.e. Symphony Orchestra)
