I think by mentioning some mic models, I inadvertently muddied the water here. The discussion was also focused on the definition of true pressure omni for the last 60 posts, again my bad. So I apologize and please allow me to ask the original question one more time:
Which one of the following polar patterns would you pick as your stereo pair, if your goal was to capture the most natural stereo representation of different instruments/performances?
• Omnidirectional
• Wide Cardioid
• Open Cardioid
• Cardioid
• Super Cardioid
• Figure-of-Eight
I agree with RayHeat, to me omni it is.
