Hi Ian
I thought I would post a link to the test here - maybe others would
like to hear it.
The recording was made in my back garden on a damp, somewhat windy
morning. There was not a lot going on but a green woodpecker makes a
brief appearance. The recording does compare the two sets of
microphones in a side by side set up ( look in the "G=D8SBW's Photos"
album in the Photos section of this Group).
The LS-10 was set to recording level 7, mic sensitivity - high.
The recording is here:
m("btinternet.com/internalls10vnt4.mp3","//uk.geocities.com/g0sbw");">http:
The LS-10 mic's built in bass roll off is clearly demonstrated. To my
ears the Rode gives better spatial definition as well as a deeper bass.
In the UK the Rode NT4 and the LS-10 cost about the same +/- =A3250. I'm
not sure that the LS-10/NT4 combination is =A3250 better than the LS-10
on its own.
However, if you decide to continue with the recording hobby then the
additional cost of a good microphone could be considered an investment
as it can be used to good effect when a better recorder is eventually
purchased.
Have fun, cheers
