Today, I spoke to an engineer at Sennheiser, and he confirmed that they will release a very compact successor to the MKH30. More details will be given tomorrow.
I was reading the microphones article in the recent Sound On Sound mag and it reminded me that mics are, fundamentally either just omnis or fig.8 mics with any other patter being some manipulation of the other two.
So why do we see so few fig.8 mics other than those using dual capsule designs? Seems illogical...
