How much are they? Looks like I might be sending some money back your way. LOL, too bad we didn't think of this a day or so ago!

With this mod it seems to me that it would be possible to do a mid-side recording. Just run a pair of omnis for one pair and a cardioid for the other "pair". You'd need some software to decode it but I read somewhere that  there is some. Blumlein theoretically should be possible as well. I am right about this?

You can derive an MS-type signal from the stock H2, but in practice I've not been able to tell the difference between the result and non-MS techniques.  Basically, you might just as well manipulate the widths and front / rear balances of the stereo pairs in your DAW and end up with the same result.  The fact that you can do that is one of the attractions of the H2 for me (recording acoustic performances in natural spaces).

How? (Not meant to sound snotty, just curious)

Again, how are you manipulating the widths? I can see how to adjust front/rear balance easy enough but I guess I'm too much of a n00b to know how to adjust widths.

If you don't mind hopping over to the H2 forum at http://www.2090.org/zoom/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=9751&highlight=side then you'll find more info on this than you'll ever need - some of which went over my head! - but do ask here if you need more info having checked out that source.

got the replacement H2 today...1st one had only left channel on line-in.

well, i tested the line in now on the new H2 with my mics+preamp, all fine.

then i tested it with my bbox+mics =>bingo, same fault again.

seems my SP-SPSB-9 12V bbox is killing the right channels on edirol r-09 and zoom H2s......
after that i tried it 1 more time with my preamp, same fault...only left channel recording.

had no problem with this bbox on my former iriver and my sony mz-rh1 recorders.

IF my 12v bbox causes the fault, HOW the hell can that happen technically?

well, i won´t send it in for replacement a 2nd time...my intention is to use the internal mics only.....


Is it a mono microphone?

Page 6 of the manual states, "If a mono mic is used, only the left channel signal will be recorded."

"The latest System version 1.30 has been released. The major changes from previous version are as follows.

Shortened the processing time of MP3 ENCODE / DIVIDE / NORMALIZE function.
And needed no free space on SD card in DIVIDE function".

I can think of things I'd have personally preferred to see.  Ah well.  The long processing time that this seems to fix did look like a sizeable bug though, and maybe bugfixes take priority over FRs.

Cool thang :D ! No pad?

No pad but if your using a pair of mics that have my mod in them you dont need one... Or a pair of AT 853 mics with my 4.7k mod.
Ah, you replaced the internal mics. I didn't realize this. So you used the EM-135 for your mod? Which where the orginal ones? Are you shure that the 5dB difference will make it?

No the internal mics are primo mics EM-135 from the factory. And actually they are not half bad. Part of the problem is the orientation of the capsules. I dont personally agree with.. I will take pictures in the next week or so and show you.


As I read the specs of the EM-135 I realized that they have 120dB spl and understood you comment, that you could rearrange the position of the mics to make them work better.
If I'm wrong - which capsules could you recommend to increase the spl?

Thanks, mic

I know what you mean.  Every trial mod is a journey.  Sometimes destroying the components involved...
