Is not having a proximity effect in the first place.
Or for example:
Trying a Philips EL1979 2 capsule stereo mic as follows:
Both capsules are connected in parallel. (The idea comes from AKG D45).
One of the mics removed from the base support. This is done by pulling it carefully.
Then mics placed side by side 180 degrees. So one mic is facing singer. The other mic is facing away from singer. Bass heaviness disappears and the resultant sounds like a good omni mic.
The diaphragm of these capsules is aluminum giving an interesting kind of aggressive sound. (The metal diaphragm can be seen if the plastic cover is removed and capsule carefully removed from disintegrating foam.
But why not using an omni in the first place?
This was tried after this test and the sound is great. The mic used is the Philips N8 207/00. Similar size capsule. Omni. Possibly metal diaphragm. Out of three examples of this mic one sounds really great. (Later addition, 2 sound great, phase polarity corrected. The 2 nice sounding mics have brown color top as opposed to black).
Signal path in above tests:
Male singing voice at 1-7 in - mic or mics combination - Sony TC-D5 Pro in mono mode - Sennheiser HD-580
