this is a sound that anyone willing to test gear migh use: tapping of fingernails at 30 cm from the mics. Soundman OKM binaural microphones, FEL BMA1 preamp, rockboxed iRiver H120. Recording inside a walk-in wardrobe, with preamp set a notch below maximum output. The recorder was set provided no gain (0). WARNING: lots of hiss!

I'm sorry delphi, this was a gear test depicting hiss from the Soundman-OKM mics. If you really want the clean sound I can re-record this for you

Why so much ambient noise? When I want to use this sample first I have to clean the sound with waves x-noise or something else... I don't understand!!

Thanks for doing this test. It might be a good way to test microphones, etc. in future!

Thanks also for all the other sounds provided.
