On the 722, I think there are two different modes for headphone, one for recording, and one for playback. You'll see next to the headphone symbol on the unit...

Natalie, Setting up and monitoring M/S recording is one of a few tricky things in the 722. It's easy to get it wrong in subtle ways. One thing you didn't...

Hi John, Oh my! Even so, the PMD without the Rolls sounded a little noisier. So I think it is still a valid test in that regard. Best, Mark [Non-text portions...

Natalie, Your setup should work very well for what you're doing. The linked 1/2+MS decodes the mic inputs to normal (L/R) stereo, which is probably what you...

I would add that unless you have a reason to vary the stereo width through the MS matrix on the 722, set your width control to 1:1, which I believe now is...
