There is nothing in the sleeve notes about the stereo mic arrangement
but Alan Wiltshire also does an ambisonic walk around in the next
index point in the same track. There is also nothing written about
using the Nimbus Halliday setup in the notes but I imagine this would
have been used, at least for the ambisonic bit.
The CD is the Hi-Fi News & Record Review test disc II (HFN015, 1989).
It's a pity I don't have room for a centre speaker for Trifield.

One interesting, if odd sounding, effect I found was using
superstereo
on a test track for channel identity for stereo that had someone
(Alan
Wiltshire) speaking from positions full left, half left, centre, half
right and full right. On my usual setting of 0.5 (range is 0 to 1.5
on
my decoder in 0.1 increments)), the speaking positions are perceived
pretty near corresponding to the left to right spacing of my front
speakers. On the 1.0 setting, the image of full left to full right is
wrapped around like a horseshoe, with left as rear left and right as
rear right with centre and 'half' positions stretched around
accordingly and somewhat broadened. But on the full 1.5 setting the
apparent speaking positions were fully reversed, with right as left
and left as right but sounding really quite focussed.
Any thoughts welcome. It darn well surprised me.
My immediate thought was to wonder how
Alan Wiltshire's voice was recorded. Was it
recorded in mono and pan-potted to the
correct location, or was a stereo mic technique
used (and, if so, which one)?

Martin
