Always great videos and very helpful. I'd say that for home recording in M/S or ORTF one major disadvantage is that you are even more dependent on ideal room acoustics. I like the sound of those mics, too.

Thank you, Max. That's true! AB Stereo with Cardioids or Hypercarioids work better in a not so great acoustics. The OC818's are excellent indeed.

Actually, your videos inspired me to try the Gefell in the end and I'm not looking back. It might be that the thing you mention in your blog about them is exactly what I am looking for atm. Cheers!

What is your favorite microphone? Of all the ones you've tried I like the Neumann tlm 170!

This is a tough one to answer! From all the top-tier microphones I tested these last months, the TLM 170/193 are amongst the top candidates for sure, excellent body, sweet neumannesque midrange and totally unhyped high-end. The DPA microphones have more clarity and realism, especially the 4006A; breathtaking! The OC818 sits somewhere between these, crisp and clear sound, musically detailed with slightly less depth and realism that the DPA's. Also, the most versatile of them all. The UMT70s, especially in Omni, has such a refinement, a gorgeous sound. I'm not a huge fan of the Schoeps sound on a classical guitar, but I can see why someone might prefer their "euphonic" attributes. Depending on which is aspect is more important for you, taste, and your listening environment/system you might lean towards one or the other; but they are all fantastic in their own right! Keep in mind that all the samples I post don't have any EQ, you can always shape the frequency response to your liking on any of these microphones, but you cannot add details. I'm trying to get on my hands a pair of Gefell m296s omni condensers; these should be ideal. Medium diaphragm like the TLM 170's, flat frequency response, excellent detail and realism. The Omni pattern is harder to control though. For what is worth, I recorded my latest suite 'A Quiet Place pt. I, & pt. II' with a pair of OC818's. I hope that this is clear.

Very Nice. Seems ORTF for solo acoustic works well in a nice sounding room. I wonder how close can you get without loss?

Thank you! As always a minimum distance of 50cm is advised to avoid boominess, but I have had better results with a distance of 80cm to 110cm. You can read more here: www.classicalguitartones.com/home/stereo-microphone-techniques-classical-guitar Let me know if you have more questions.

OC818's (set in hyper-cardioid) in AB stereo on the guitar, Line Audio CM3's in AB Stereo on cello, and an Aston Origin on the voice. We recorded at different rooms (and countries basically) during a lockdown in 2020. You can watch the full video here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/qWxj2WawjpSnioI
