Converting mid-side input to ordinary stereo (Stereo
Link Mode)
Signals from a mid-side stereo mic input connected to stereo-linked inputs can be converted to an ordinary
stereo signal. See “
Linking inputs as a stereo pair ” for how to use stereo linking.
Mid-side stereo format overview :
This technique creates a stereo recording from signals input by
a directional mid mic that captures sound in the center and a
bidirectional side mic that captures sounds from the left and right.
Mid-side recording allows you to change the stereo width by the
adjusting the level of the side mic.
Since this technique can capture a wide stereo image, it is ideal
for recording open spaces with numerous sound sources, such as
orchestras, live concerts and soundscapes.
Mid-side recording is also extremely effective when you want to
be able to control the amount of room ambience in a signal. For
this reason, it is often used for live as well as studio recording. In
addition, the stereo signal created by this technique is fully mono-
compatible, making it especially useful when recording sound for
film, video, or broadcast.
