No particular reason, atleast I can't recall any. But using two different mics to record the same sound source will produce two different sounding results which can be combined/blended/mixed during mixing. Hopefully the result will sound good, but if it doesn't, you're probably not cut out to be an engineer.

Often times cabs will have two different speakers installed, so you may want to mic the 2 different speakers, or make sure you only mic one type of speaker and not the other.

Also, if you listen to each speaker in any multiple speaker cab, you will notice that each speaker sounds quite different. Im not sure if this is due to a natural inconsistency in the impedance of individual speakers (maybe from aging...) or if it is from the acoustics happening in the cab or a mixture of both. At any rate, there is quite a noticeable difference . I learned this at my internship at EA. I was amazed when I tried this on my own. Be careful though! Putting you ear up to a blaring speaker can do some serious damage.

is it possible to put online the pics ?

really good theard, thx !

Yeah.. is there any chance the pictures from the original post could be reposted? I'm really curious to see all this.

Damn, I wish I would have saved the pictures to this on my computer. Did anyone grab them when they were up?

Is this a pretty old thread or somethin'?
