More advanced designs frequently employ dual-diaphragm capsules, adjustable polar patterns and a rotatable capsule (or two) for other conincidence-based stereo techniques, like Blumlein and Mid-Side. Still more advanced designs employ multiple capsules (tetrahedral) with discrete or matrixed outputs for later mixing into various surround formats, or offer circuitry for the complex blending of the multiple diaphragms’ signals into a “ready to use” surround or M-S signal. The Nevaton MC50-Quad takes a unique aproach to such stereo microphone design dilemmas with a two-capsule, four-diaphragm, four-output offering with no swivels, no switches and no signal encoding. Oddly enough, its simplistic design seems to offer more flexibility than any other design I've encountered, assuming its user has a full-featured mixing desk, an understanding of multi-pattern condenser designs and the desire to work a little harder for great results.
