STEREO APPLICATIONS
RECORDING MOVING SOUND EFFECTS
Very specific sounds -- and backgrounds -- that have movement should be recorded in ste-
reo.
Keep the mic stationary as the moving object passes. If possible use a tripod or mic stand.
Panning the mic to follow the object will defeat the purpose of recording in stereo.

This is the most common use for a stereo mic. Use a tripod or mic stand. Step away while
recording and avoid making any noise.
