Topic: will nak cm300's work with a m10 recorder?

Really just need some thing small that can handle high spl, even one mic would problably be good for now. I don't know if stereo matters that much if your right in front of the PA speakers?

Unless you are somehow so near the speaker and the music is so loud that all room ambiance is drowned out by the music (and I don't even know if this is possible), stereo mics will sound noticeably better. Having the room ambiance & crowd noises in stereo makes the recording sound more natural.

I guess your right about stereo being a lot better. My reasoning was one really good sounding mike would be better then two crappy ones for a stealthy set up. Then maybe some stereo reverb or something could be added later.

Back to chopping the naks...does anyone ever need the low cut switch on the mics, or is it better to equalize the bass if needed? I'm pretty sure the low cut is never needed when using the cardio caps, but was wondering about with the omnis?

I never found not having the low cut a problem when I had chopped Naks.

I have never done a recording via a PA system. Normal recording with the cardiod capsules, CP-1, sounds a bit thin - no need for low cut! Here some measurements:

An omni measures flat in the bass, I think the method used is not very accurate. A cardiod have a distance dependent frequency response. The CP-1 is flat at perhaps 30-50 cm, further away it is more like in the document. My recordings of acoustic intruments always calls for some equalizing, a bass lift.
