Thanks for the reply,
it actually helps quite a bit....
When I owned the sony pcm m10, I didn't like how I wasn't getting a decent =
stereo image. It seemed after 20 feet everything blended in and I couldn't =
tell from my audio recordings where the different sounds were coming from, =
left side or right side.
Would you or anyone else know of a decent set of condenser microphones that=
will get 20mhz to 20hz which can be used with the M10?
