Hello John

The third ecording was made with the lightweight triple barrier.  The
recording made, at the same time, with the NT4 is here

http://ad2004.hku.nl/naturesound/TomR/NT4FinalSnippetMP3.mp3

Both recordings are as out of the recorder except for short fade ins
and outs.  The minidiscs were set to PCM, manual record, high
sensitivity, and recording vol=3D20.

To my ear this is too much for the lightweight barrier triples (with
these relatively close in sounds) and too little for the NT4.  As well
as the lower sensitivity the Rode also has a cardioid pattern compared
to the omnidirectional of the triplet capsules.

Cheers
