If the outputs of the two microphones are equal (or made equal using gain controls), the stereo

pickup will be similar to that of two microphones placed as a Blumlein X-Y pair, delivering a

wide stereo image.

As you reduce the level of the “side” microphone, the width of the stereo image will narrow

until, with the side microphone turned all the way down, you have just the “mid” mic panned

center for a mono pickup.

Typical M-S Miking Technique

If the outputs of the “mid” and “side” microphones are recorded on separate tracks, the electrical

connections shown in Figure 3 can be made at the mixer outputs and the adjustment of the stereo

separation can be done during mixdown, rather than during the actual recording.
