A site reader sent an email:

“…but if they are using spaced microphones and one is five feet further away from the soloist who is not dead center on the stage, then signal will be delayed by about 5 millisecomnds. Or if they are using a spot microphone that is five feet closer to the piano and feeding only one of the channels instead of being mixed into both, you'll get the same effect...”

Here is an interesting home-worn thinking for you people. If we presume that they have very narrow directivity microphones for a soloist, wrongly position or wrongly calibrated, and if we presume that they have separate two wrongly used microphones for each channel, then how the wrong arrival time from those soloists’ microphones would be different from the physical channel delay?
