I read somewhere that you can buy a pair of cheapo PZM mics, and then
mount them on a piece of fiberglass with the bottoms of the plates
facing each other. (I.E., the fiberglass is between the bottoms of the
PZM plates.) Then you record with one mic's signal out of phase.
Supposedly this will give you a poor man's soundfield mic. (Haven't
actually tried it.)
