Hi Rick--
Thanks for posting the sample. Pretty nice fidelity for its price
range. The stereo field seems narrower than it might have to be.  I
see there are "7 angle adjustments for any environment. " What "angle
adjustment" was your sample recorded at?  Did you use the high record
setting?

If you can coax a wider stereo image out of it, we can evaluate it
better if the mp3 sample is 256kbps or higher. There's quite a bit of
distortion from the mp3 compression in the first 128kbps sample. Also
make sure you record in a non-compression format if possible (Blue
website tech info on the mic is limited). Rob D.
