Thanks for your informative reply, Greenmachine, regards NickW

I have compared four of my DIY mics against a commercial Rode NT4 The mics, in order of appearance in the following 1minute 15second MP3 are: 35-0190 single capsule stereo pair 61a single capsule stereo pair 35-0190 triple capsule stereo pair 35-0192 triple capsule stereo pair Rode NT4 The recording is of a single ticking clock, using a RH910 recording in PCM, manual mode, high sensitivity with recoding volume set at 30. Post recording the play back volume each of four of the mics was adjusted to the level of the loudest one. !5 second tranches were combined to make the MP3 here: Hi I'm new to this board, so let me just say " Happy New Year " to all, and hassle free recording. I checked out your sample recordings, but couldn't find those listed above, about the clock. The classical vocal and accompaniment recording on g0sbw mic project sample recording 3ctm3wtm3_30sec.mp3 was excellent, and I'd really like to know a little more of the recording conditions, and the equipment used. I have just received my Xmas gift to myself, one Sony MZ-RH1 MD recorder, and am keen to get out in the field with some DIY mics. regards NickW
