Did you record A or B format? If the former, two possibilities come to mind 
(assuming stereo out is the goal):
-Use the two back-to back capsules of the remaining three;
-Use the two back-to back capsules, one reverse polarity, for a difference 
signal and add the center capsule as the mono signal in an MS configuration.
 
If B format, you could dematrix to A, then proceed as above.
 
In all cases, significant EQ will probably be needed.
 
Cordially,

Subject: [Sursound] Making something of faulty A-format recording

I've got a SPS200 recording with a unusable 3rd channel (possibly an electrical 
problem in the recorder). The recording was of general ambience and extracting 
a detailed/realistic soundstage isn't important. I thought I might be able to 
extract something in Harpex, but even using the mono shotgun setting, couldn't 
locate a direction that omitted signal from the ruined 3rd channel. Likewise in 
Surround Zone 2, adjusting the mic orientation with 0 width stereo still 
contained channel 3 signal.

I'd like to create a 2-channel output that is less arbitrary than simply using 
two of the three usable channels, and have got some 'interesting' results using 
with azimuth / level matching tool in Izotope RX.

I wonder if the group has any other suggestions for experimentation with the 3 
usable channels.
