It's probably me, but I thought as you moved the capsules on the Sony it 'r=
eversed' them?
Such that when set to 90=B0 the left mic is actually the right and the righ=
t mic the left but as
you move them towards the 120=B0 position they swap over?
If this is the case I wondered why you say the left and right sides are aud=
ibly reversed?
Am I missing something here? (I probably am)
