Thanks, Tom. Are both recordings in that track? If so, which one is first, =
and where does the second one start?

The picture associated with the track shows the overall setup. The EM-172 l=

a rock behind and a little below the SASS. The mic on top is the M-S Alice =
I've been dinking with. I was about ten feet above the water.

Waves really aren't the best subject to test for localization. That'll have=
 to wait until the wind dies down and I can stick these on a real tree. But=
 the difference in tone was kind of neat to listen to. Both of these use th=
e same capsules, so all the differences in tone come from how the mics are =
mounted, not from the capsules themselves. I hadn't really appreciated how =
much of a boost the higher frequencies get in the SASS.

A group of birds was calling off to one side during the test. Not the best =
conditions for deciding how wide a stereo image you're getting, but it's en=
ough to give some clues. I don't know if it's as wide an image as the SASS,=
 but the bag ears certainly created a wider image than the M-S microphone I=
 also tested that day.

I'll post a tree ears test as soon as the wind dies down and I can get out =
with my gear.
