<br>
coincident means that the signal was obtained with two directional<br>
microphones which are in the same spot. that means there is no time<br>
difference between them, so you can mix them down to mono if you want,<br>
without wrecking your sound with comb filtering effects.<br>
<br>
also called XY stereo, as opposed to AB stereo, where two mikes (most<br>
commonly omnis) are spaced apart and the stereo effect is caused by time<br>
differences only.<br>
combinations of the two (spaced and directional microphones) are also<br>
used frequently - google for NOS or ORTF microphone patterns.<br>
