Stopped on a wet morning commute to record the rain falling on leaves by a shelter in Admiralty Park.

I decided to compare two recording methods: my spaced pair em273 omnis with bike helmet as a baffle in between, and the h1n internal XY cardioid mics.

This recording is with the DIY em273 omnis. I had them mounted as a spaced pair on either side of my bike helmet, which acted as a foam baffle in between them. This recording has a much more natural sense of place than the XY mics.There is less stereo separation in the near field, and it tends to make the near and far sounds cohere into a single soundscape. Notably, the mid-range forest sounds sound much closer to what my ears would pick up. It also has a little less high end and more low end, especially noticeable in the distant road noise.

See my other sounds for the omni recording.
