I just want to start off by saying that I've almost always used spaced pair overheads and have NEVER had any phase issues.
People say that with XY you'll have less phase issues. Doesn't this only apply when both mics are panned center? If i'm correct you will not incur any phase problems because the sound is hitting the mics at the same time. If you hard pan them you will not get any phase issues at all as well.
So what's wrong with spaced pair? I personally like the stereo image of my overheads to be WIDE so I use a spaced pair hard panned. If I check them in mono, sometimes I do get phase issuess, but I always hard pan them.
So does the issue of phase problems with overheads only apply when overheads are panned center? Is it possible to have phase problems when your overheads are hard panned?
