Compared to the Edirol R09HR the LS10 is more neutral. The
R09HR seems to actually boost the lows which is odd. (I own both)
Heres a sequence I recorded in Italy with an LS10 and my own incredible
amazing, fantastic, remarkable mics running directly from the LS10's Plug i=
n Power (mics are 14 dBA, -28 dB Sensitivity, rec level 5ish, low) really n=
ice, awesome, real easy to use,
unbelievable, not entirely nature recording related but more like urban din=
. back to steve.

Mic spacing? I would imagine the dish is almost transparent at low frequenc=

I checked it in Amadeus Pro, lots of low frequency content.
