Hi Rob,
Thanks for giving this a listen.  I am running MKH's through Rolls
and into mic in of Sony RH10.  The EM23's are going directly into mic
in using only PIP.  I put new batteries into the Rolls immediately
before running the test.

I have uploaded an un-normalized or decoded file of the MKH 40/30 and
also the un-normalized file of the EM23's both recorded at the 28
level.  They are at the bottom of the group on the page at

One thing that confuses me is that I thought the MKH's were more
sensative than the EM23's being rated at 25mV/Pa's as opposed to 10-
Message: 11.
Subject: 5mV/Pa for the EM23.  The un-normalized files argue against this.

Thanks,
Scott
