[microsound] mics mics

[Jeff Kunzelman]

I use a Rode NT4 with a windscreen and a rycote furry thing. It's a  
medium sized condenser.

The nice thing is the mics are in a fixed position for an accurate  
stereo field that requires no post processing. I like it cause I don't  
have to worry about positioning, but some people may want more  
flexiblity. In that case they also offer the same elements as separate  
condenser mics as well.
