Re: recording LF

["Per Boysen" <perboysen@gmail.com>]

l'm also pleased with the LF response of the Zoom H4. Just don't go
too close up to the sound source. When recording live sets I typical
put the stereo mic set two or three meters from the two stereo
speakers in a "sweet spot" position. This gave fully acceptable
results for carrying out live recordings (as posted at
