Two tracks, of course! Sheesh. Actually, it's not dark whatsoever. The M55K omni really has a such terrific off-axis high end response. I generally use the Vac Rac tube EQs in the signal path, but it's generally to push a little 3khz and maybe pull out some low end so it doesn't fight with the bass. I'll post a sound file at some point. They said I was crazy, but I'll show them!
