Exactly my impression. The six 'on stage' mics are (in the context
of orchestral recording) really 'spot mics'. If the main pair is
as Giorgio posted 'far from the stage' (is it the pair visible on
one of the pictures, at the back ?) it could be difficult to combine
them. And *one* mic for room reverb seems strange as well (unless it's
a stereo mic).

Yes. For a film/TV score I'd want a dry sound, to be processed to
whatever it takes later.
