Multichannel Microphone Array Design
5 Channel Microphone Array Design for SURROUND SOUND COVERAGE using CARDIOID Microphones

FTC 90°+ 90° (100° / 22.1cm) LSC 50° / BPC 80°

The last stage in the MMAD process is the choice of the Microphone Configuration for the Back Pair Coverage. There are many microphone configurations that will produce these angles of LSC / BPC.
Here are a few possible combinations showing both the distance and the orientation of the microphones.
