Wish Off-axis 57 DynaCabs mic option

Got it. Yeah I shot IRs of the ox box off axis 57s and they are magic. Would be nice to have.

I love off axis placements of the 57. Essential in the Fredman technique. It also really seems to fill out a single mic placement by finding a nice middle ground between a cutting but too harsh tone and a warm but too dark tone.
 
Similar, but not really. Off-axis is just another way to move the mic around— a way that we don’t have currently.
Specifically, it is rotating the mic somewhat, so that you can use the mic's polar response as a filtering method. Mics quite often have different frequency response straght on than at an angle. Most good mics will have a polar response graph available somewhere, and, usually, the better/pricier it is, the less difficult it is to locate. Some even send you a graph of your particular instance, along with a sheet of other specs....
