Hi Rob and thanks for participating!

I listened to the shorter file.

Yes, MS and this crazy set up that I tested does not sound the same.
On the other hand I don=B4t think background sound and ambience was the
same either.

The mike was an experiment to be evaluated when I took it to Murie
Center. As Bernie jumped up and down out of happiness when he
recorded the aspen leaves, (even though he said he hated me...) we
made jokes about what we were going to call it and it ended up in MurieMike=
.
It works for some purposes. It runs on the LS-10 PIP, makes some 14
dB(A) noise and is extremely easy to use and reliable. The question
is if it works as a soundscape mike in general?
That is, - does it sound "realistic" enough? Or "nice".
An how can the sound be manipulated by software?

As it is, I tend to judge that high freq. are too separate, like the
rain is to the right and left, but less straight forward. This can be adjus=
ted.

It is extremely difficult to judge over ones own design. Hearing is
too subjective and when you have listened to the same mike a number
of times you get "deaf" both for it=B4s qualities and shortcomings.
Comments from others are invaluable.

Klas.
