Microphone recommendation for recording 2 channel demos

Thanks appreciate it. Im gonna head to an AV shop tomorrow.

I might grab a pair of omnidirectional mics too to plug into the recording for even better sound.

@mihorn i think it is a real live recording of the system... what would the point be of a dub? The whole point is to let people hear the actual system (albeit through youtube)

They made you think it’s live recording by moving camera around the room. But there is no sound difference the camera close to tweeter or behind the speaker. Listen to this video when the camera is moving.

On SS’s video, they wrote "Is This The BEST Audio Setup of 2024?" Not the best sound set up. If the system sound is great as as in video, I’d say the perfect sound system. However, they didn’t mention about the sound. The sound doesn’t matter in this video.

Here’s 2 videos from SS channel. I think only one video is live recording. Alex/WTA

The live recording always have the room sound signature. SS’s video doesn’t have any room signature. Listen this recording with and without the room signature.

@OP It you are recording two channel stereo, you'll get a better recording using the xy mics built into the unit itself. A pair of omnis are going to pick up all the room sound so you'll be recording the room rather than the system.

@yoyoyaya ehat about a pair of cardioid condensers like the rode nt5

@OP NT5s are a bit bright sounding. I would prefer a pair of SE Electronics SE8s.

But I would try the built in mics first as you may be surprised.

I should have asked earlier but what exactly do you mean by "sound demos"?
