Since the R-09HR now has a much quieter MIC preamplifier, thought I try recording our neighborhood ILLIGAL 4th of July fireworks (having many rocket displays) WITHOUT using a LINE preamplifier.
NOTE: fireworks image is a previous year Sutherlin, 4th display.
GEAR:
R-09HR @ 24bit/44.1K in LOW mic input setting at MAX#80 adjustment, mic PIP OFF.
DSM-6S/EH mic, powered by PA-6 battery module into deck's MIC input; HRTF baffled by GUY at 7 foot height.
(Used NO windscreen, but only slight breeze lasting ~1/3 at beginning of recording)
AMBIENT STEREO-SURROUND 2-CHANNEL RECORDING:
Lots of valley reverberation; originally 1.5 hours, reduced to 14.8 min, amplified by 6 dB in post, then converted to 17.8 MEG VBR MP3 file.

Turn up listening volume so background noise is just barely audible for most realistic experience on open type headphones, or wide spaced stereo speakers aimed to focus
in front of a centered listening position; this allows very wide stable imaging way-off-center listening ability. (see speaker positioning tips at:
www.sonicstudios.com/tips.htmIf available, turn on surround speaker Dolby Pro Logic or DTS NEO 6 2-channel to surround decoders for enhanced surround experience.
