ran mine last night for the 1st time, loud heavy metal band, I used the built in mics at 90 and -20 db setting, set up on a 5 foot high camera tripod, it sounded great, I think for open taping this is the set up I'm going to use from now on, for stealth and for crowded venues it will still be the dpa omnis (4061's)
The built in mics are great, and the preamps are nice, no distortion and clean sound even if I amplify the quiet portions of the show to max, no hiss.
nice recorder. next show using the built ins is the Oh Sees Wed.
