A very enjoyable recording - well done. I have a question regarding your MS
rig - how are you mounting the Rode mics and are you providing wind protection
for your setup? Thanks - Mark

Hello, Mark,
Thank you for your question.
I have a Blimp from Røde. The NT-2A is mounted into it so that the
buttons are facing to the left. The mounting was made by my friend,
Magnús Bergsson.
The NT-55 is mounted sleightly over the top of the NT-2A (held by 2
elastic bands". The membra of the NT-55 is facing forward so it makes
90°towards the sides of the NT-2A. I shall try to post a photo of the
setup after the weekend and maybe I can send it to your personal email.
Sometimes I use the dead cat or what the wind protection is called from
Røde as the Blimp is quite sensitive to the breeze so common in
Iceland. On some occasions I have to cut off 60-100 khZ if the wind is
strong.
Regarding the configuration of the MS-stereo, You need to do some tests
of how far forward the NT-55 should be.
I plug the NT-55 to the left channel and the NT-2A to the right. When I
test the stereo I set the level of both channels equally and then reduce
the volume of the left channel until the stereo effect is acceptible.
The Nagra has a special tuning for listening to MS-stereo, but preamps
as SD-302 can be set to transfer the MS-stereo directly into the recorder.
Some people use other rigs, but this is for the time being the most
affordable one for me.
I hope you can understand this setup inspite of my broken English.
Hopefully someone can add something to it.
Best regards,
Arnthor

Thanks, Bryan. Be aware that if you do it this way it downloads the entire
folder as a zip file, which is almost 400 MB.
