The Sony mic is going to be harder to hide at a concert, and the little binaurals have better bass response. So use binaurals---preamp---Line In.

Put the microphones about 6 inches apart, like your ears: on a shirt collar, on a hat, on your glasses, etc.

If you are going to be listening to the recording through headphones, clip the microphones so that they point left and right, sideways. If you are going to be listening through your stereo, point them forward at the band.

For a loud concert, you should probably use the lowest gain you can set on the preamp--it might be -20db, it might be 0. You don't need to add amplification to loud sounds.

Use Manual Volume (push Rec and Pause, Menu-->Rec Set-->Rec Volume--Manual) and set it to 18/30, which is unity gain, just as loud as what goes in. Un-pause to start recording. Don't use Stop, which will send you back to Automatic Gain Control (AGC) on recording volume, until the recording is done. If you need to pause the recording, use Pause.

Look at the levels while recording--maybe you can test during an opening act. The indicator should be somewhere between the two little dashes. If it's too low, then raise either the manual volume or the gain on the preamp.
