In Reply to: I dunno 'bout "Outrigger," but... posted by John Marks on September 1, 2023 at 14:11:23:
Per the text in the link below:In 1954 Roy Wallace and Arthur Haddy, a group of engineers at London's Decca Records devised a creative solution for stereo recording. The result - which became known as the "Decca Tree" - consisted of three omnidirectional microphones on a T-shaped mount, with left and right mics and a third mic in the center. The Decca Tree offers a wide stereo spread of the outer microphones with the center mic eliminating any possible "hole in the middle" effect from the widely spaced left/right mics. Optionally, two other left/right mics on a rear outrigger can also be used. The technique has become a worldwide standard in the concert hall, recording studio and film scoring stages.
Again, my point was that if this configuration were used (i.e., with the outriggers) in an array of seven microphones (which is what Command Classics used), that would leave only two "spot" microphones - if indeed that was what the additional two microphones were used for. I consider this very unlikely - aside from the special case of the triangle in Ride of the Valkyries - not! ;-)
