thanks for the thoughts — I was at Symphony Hall at Birmingham, UK, recording City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) in a live concert on Saturday night. My very good friend Tony Faulkner was doing the main recording, and I popped my ST350 onto his mic stand, and did a B format recording to my 788T, along with a stereo mix to 2 more channels. So I can fix whatever bollocks the sound field box does in its stereo construction by remixing from B format again using Harpex, but it would be nice to know for sure what the knobs on the 350 actually do.
Looking at the sound field.com site, at the ST450 instruction manual, I see the pattern knob now goes to fig 8 (and not beyond it, unlike the ST350 control). But the “Width” control still goes to 10 and the instruction manual still says "Offers continuous adjustment of the stereo width from mono (‘0’) through to wide angle stereo (‘10’)” which is meaningless garbage. You’d think they could say “pattern at fig8 and width at 10 equals a classic 90 degree fig8 pair” to clarify things.
