Re: Recording small things

David,

I have had very good results using the Telinga EM-23 to record the
Dermestid beetles at the Field Museum while they stripped animal
carcasses. Mixed results using a Knowles BU-21771 accelerometer as a
contact mic to record/amplify a vermicomposting bin. All worked well
as long as the entire system was running on battery power.
