i too have been wondering if it might possible to clip on some kind of primitive jecklin disk to the M10, though i've not had the time to experiment with the...

... The Olympus LS-10 had several deficiencies that were corrected in the LS-11 and LS-5, notably the lack of ability to record in mono or split files. It...
Peter is it not possible to improve the sound stage using shuffling or other mid/side techniques? See http://www.urlme.net/blog/?p=1744 The SASS boundary would...

Hello, I would like to know if someone has a binaural head or a SASS available to rent for a possible job late July to August. The client hasn't confirmed yet...
If the M10 is ok apart from the poor sound stage, I wonder how small one could build external mics for it that do better. Ie small enough to leave permanently...

Hi Robin, Thanks for the references: the minimum audible angle (MMA) concept is interesting. With any on location localization test, even when the exact...
Yes, Robin, I agree. This is why I have not yet decided on a small recorder to replace my minidisc. None of the currently-produced, low-cost units gets it...
... It seems that the term "sonel" might be confusing, as it was coined by York University researchers Kapralos et al. for a different purpose. For them, sonel...
Hi Vicki, The error is entirely mine. My original measurement of the scrap I bought was inaccurate. I don't know how I managed that. The actual dimensions of...
... Yes, but it also has a sound stage that is, for me, unusable. The closely spaced omnis act to record in something closer to mono than stereo. A good...
John, I added a small wedge of grey foam to square up the shape, then weighed it. I would also comment here that the additional black dye added to the Crown...
Vicky, your math looks right. I'm curious though, with the irregular shape of original SASS foam, did you calculate volume from actual measurements or make a...
Re the foam: I am puzzled, how can John Crockett's green foam be specified at 1.5 pounds per cubic foot, if his scrap green piece 4 x 6 x 9 inches weighing 125...

David, ... How does your method compare to the common method of simply pointing a finger to where one hears sounds in the stereo spread to identify the limits...

Good test Marco! In all three tracks (i.e. judging the quality of the built-in mics) my choice is 1. M10 2. LS7 3. LS5. The M10 has much lower noise levels...
I forgot one important thing: I turned off the Olympus LS7 central omnidirectional microphone (as you know it has three internal microphones: two lateral...
