I'm new to recording and I'd like to get the input of the experienced users=
of audio recordists out there.
I recently purchased a Sony PCM-M10, and while the inboard mics are good I =
was looking for something that had more stereo separation. I was intereste=
d in clip-on binaurals, over the more stealthy in-ear binaurals, as from wh=
at I understand, playing true binaurals over speakers doesn't sound right (=
even though I really like the stealthy aspects of in-ear binaurals).
Since I am new to this I didn't want to jump immediately to Telinga mics an=
d similar expensive gear but wanted to keep the price range to about $150 a=
nd less and I came up with this short list:
1) Core Sound Low Cost Binaurals ($75)
2) Church Audio B99A Binaurals ($100)
3) Sound Professionals SP-BMC-20 ($150)
I was leaning towards the SP-BMC-20s because their low self-noise (24dB), s=
maller size of the AT830c (marginally stealthier), but was not as happy abo=
ut the max SPL of 106dB.
As I am falling into the trap of new hobbyists of trying to get "one mic th=
at does it all" I thought the SP-BMC-20 would best fit this bill.
My intended use was to record mostly naturescapes, but also the occasional =
WWII warbird airshow, and the church choir and maybe the youth rock band (t=
he last one not so much).
Does any one have any experience with the SP-BMC-20s, or any other thoughts=
on what mic I should get?
Thanks for any thoughts on this.
