Funny enough, if everyone was positioned correctly around the mic, you could easily record an entire ensemble with just
a Royer SF-12 or any of it's relatives!

I've done it a few times, and it was amazing!

Here's one example:
Artist: Big Bill Morganfield,

I was going for a old school blues vibe.

Drums
Bass
2 x guitars
Big Bill on Vocal

Was exactly what the doctor ordered!

I love it when I can close my eyes and 'look around the room'.

Thanks for sharing!!

Closest I’ve come in practice is Samar MF-65. I’d probably pick a figure 8, regardless. So far the Pearl ELM-A is sounding great on pretty much everything.

I’ll take all 635A’s over all SM57’s!
