There's been some discussion here recently of the challenges of
capturing good stereo images of sea and surf, so I repeated my
recorder comparison (of the Nagra ARES-MII, Olympus LS-10, Sony PCM-D1
and -D50, Zoom H4n, and a M/S pair of MKH-800s) on an empty beach in
the San Francisco Bay.
This test, the white noise of the sea across the width of the
soundstage, really pushes these little recorders and their sub-optimal
microphone arrangements beyond what they can do as far as capturing a
good image; many of the results seem all but monaural.
