    What is your take on these? I record classical music mostly in churches and concert halls. For a classical singer would this be a good bet? Do I need a stereo pair or just one? I have two Neumann KM 184 already and this would be just to mike the singer. Thanks in advance for your answers!

The last album I cut 15 db from the higher range and already a man at the...
