A good Sennheiser MD21 captures emotion

Comment by Vicky. Vintage Mic facing from abobe singer's head, not just nose or mouth!, Like this photo of Jim Reeves on the Temples of Sound - Cogan, Clark book. 2 vintage MD21 were used deliberately connected anti phase, (Lou Burroughs Electrovoice trick from his Microphones book. Mics were connected to a military low inductance transformer (Freed NO. 28700 cTE 24438). Center tap primary connected to resistor 1K, one mic connected to primary one side, other mice connected to primary other side, like a hybrid or adding transformer. One mic capturing the voice, the other handheld too to arms straight length. Therefore noise and room artfacts cancelling due to differencial out of phase cancelling effect. Recorded on Sony TC-D5M and it sounds so so quiet. ANd for some strange reason this super clarity mic captures the emotion reminding of good radio where you see the actor singer without seeing them, just by listening, Vicky's comment.
