Do you mean cutting a slot shaped so just the mics protrude? I'd been wonde=
ring the same thing and had considered trying it with my M10.=0D

I'm not very familiar with the principals involved, but this should result =
in increased volume, shouldn't it? Would it also increase directionality?=

I think I read of someone's experiment with a PCM M10 with a foam barrier t=
o attempt to increase stereo separation, and that it didn't help much, so t=
hat part of it might not work.=0D

a thought just occurred to me, it should be possible to design a modified s=
ass so a recorder with built in microphones can be just inserted from the r=
ear. each recorder will need a different version of sass. any other problem=
