LS-10 vs 702, ambience

["vickipowys" vpowys]

All,

Here is another comparison between Olympus LS-10 and Telinga stereo
mic used open, against SD-702 with SASS and mkh 20s.  The subject is
ambience, nothing really close to the mics, with Noisy Miners and Red
Wattlebirds in the distance.  The rigs were set up side by side.

This sound file can be found on the naturerecordists Files page,
under R for RWB (Red Wattlebird).

The sound file is of two parts:

a. LS-10 with Telinga (no low cut, using low sensitivity volume 10)
b. SD-702 with SASS

Conclusion.  The Telinga and LS-10 did very well noise-wise, and on
the original 10 minute recording some very distant callers picked up
on the Telinga, as well as the SASS.  The SASS was quieter, picked up
the lowest of background noise e.g. distant highway, was more
spacious, had a better and more accurate stereo image.  The Telinga
gave a more central image.
