Beschreibung
The Schneider disc may be used in OSS technique for stereo recordings of orchestral or chamber music, as well as for stereo micing of solo instruments. In order to properly implement OSS, the microphones should be identical, omnidirectional and should be set for equal output to avoid unbalancing of the stereo image (this can be checked using headphones). For the best balance between direct and room sound, the Schneider disc should be located at the distance from the source where the direct sound and the diffuse sound from the room are at equal strength. This distance is known as the diffuse-field distance and can be located by careful listening.
