Re: Advice on hardware: zoom h2 + okm2?
the design of the okm is such that they aren't really positioned
in the cavity - perhaps the portal of the ear
i've been using them a coupla years
(after a davidmooney/maxineheller posting)
i find the little buggers to have extraordinary range
while maintaining impressive separation
(unlike the montreal canadiens this year {sigh})
- but as david/maxine said -
they suck in the wind
- (any parabolics anonymous out there? how do they catch/dodge the
breeze?)
- to make a long story longer:
i find them very effective in documenting the great indoors
cheers
