Stereo miking techniques capture the sound of a musical group as a whole
Explanation:

"Stereo miking is the preferred way to record classical-music ensembles and soloists, such as a symphony performed in a concert hall or a string quartet piece played in a recital hall. Stereo mic techniques capture the sound of a musical group as a whole, using only two or three microphones. When you play back a stereo recording, you hear phantom images of the instruments in various spots between the speakers. These image locations -- left to right, front to back -- correspond to the instrument locations during the recording session.In this article we'll look at several techniques for recording in stereo."
