John,
I use a PCMM10 as my ultra-portable recorder when hiking etc, and given tha=
t the EM172 seems to be regarded as the best match for this recorder, is th=
ere a significant advantage to using external EM172=92s apart from achievin=
g a better stereo image? Perhaps the in-built capsules are compromised by t=
he housing?
Essentially, do you notice a significant difference when using the external=
capsules?
Thanks,
Ray Every
