Microphone Placement
The ORTF technique was devised around 1960 by a French
broadcast station, the Offi ce de Radiodiffusion Télévision
Française, and was originally designed to mimic the
response of human hearing.
The increased distance between the capsules will produce
a wider stereo image than coincident stereo miking
techniques like X/Y or Mid-side.
