LS-10 vs 702, how low can you go?

["vickipowys" vpowys]

All,

There has been some talk about the LS-10 not handling low frequencies
so well, but I think it is quite good.

I have uploaded to the naturerecordists Files page a short mp3 sound
clip of low growly thunder recorded with two different set-ups, side
by side (see T for Thunder on Files page).

The clip has two parts:

a. with Olympus LS-10 and Telinga stereo mic used open.  The LS-10
has no low cut applied, and using low sensitivity, volume 10.

b. with SD-702 and SASS head with two MKH20 mics.

Conclusion, the LS-10 with Telinga is surprisingly good on the low
rumbles.  It has a more central image than the SASS.

see my next email for details of an ambience comparison, same rigs.
