[Nature Recordists] Re: Olympus LS-11

[Robin <>]

I think one should consider carefully that 6db/octave roll-off is actually not 
that different from what many mics give you. In other words, the specs of the 
microphone input on the LS-11 is not worse than what one would reasonably 
achieve some other way (for a similar investment).

Of course one *CAN* do better... but that would generally require a larger 
recorder, phantom power and much more expensive external mics.

Even if you out-grow the LS-11 some time in the future, for your most important 
low-noise recordings, I bet you keep this recorder on hand for those times when 
convenience and portability trump ultimate sound quality.
