Evacuation Message and Alarm

Recorded this at London Liverpool Street station at 10am or so. Included the preamble saying it's just a test but you can cut that off.

I AM VERY SORRY that I only recorded it in mono. I hadn't been to sleep and I didn't think about what I was doing properly.

Daimon-zero - I actually recorded this with a zoom H4n recorder and a sennheiser shotgun mic. I just happened to have them with me. It's annoying coz the Zoom has a stereo mic on it which would have been better! I don't know of any mobile phones that can record in stereo - seems like it would be pretty unnecessary for a mobile phone to have a stereo mic unless it was a special phone for audio people!

Never mind its good and useful enough only your right it wouldve be 10 times as good recd in stereo. Looking forward to your next capture of such. I guess you used a mobile phone to record and is there a mobile phone out there that can record in stereo? Id love to know.
