Re: Zoom’s 32-bit float m/s - Instamic Pro Plus C

Yesterday I recorded a show in M/S mode (located on the FOH, attached to camcorder's shoe mount) but still can't figure it out how to decode it properly. I played with panning but somehow looks like it won't decode. Anyone can help me out?
What am I doing wrong?
I attached a sample from the raw recording: https://www.filemail.com/d/ichaknwfgixltgq
So you can play with it and show me the proper settings of the MSED.

(also recorded with my AT853 > 3w bb > LS-12 rig too, just for backup, but in this occasion I wanted the Instamic as main recorder here)
Mics: AT853, ATM35, RODE Videomic Go, MIC-109, Panasonic WM-61A
Mic power: 3-wire battery boxes, 4.7kOhm mod cable, CA9100
Recorders: Deity PR-2, Olympus LS-12, Zoom H2 (4 channel line input mod), Instamic Pro Plus C Stereo
Video/photo: Panasonic HC-V770, Panasonic HC-VX1, Sony RX10mkII, Sony RX100mkIV, Sony FDR-AX53, GoPro Hero4 Silver

I've tried everything I can think of to make that work using an array of effects related to MS etc, and failed.  You pictured MSED settings are correct.  But there's something amiss with the original recording.  Step one, IMHO, is to set up the device at home, record in MS, and simply walk round it centre, left and right, and for that matter, back.  Then see whether that decodes correctly (in other words, you should hear the correct placement).  If that also doesn't work, there would appear to be something wrong with it.

i tried my one mic stereo job other night and it looks nice on the osciliscope.  balanced etc.

also used magnetic mount and left on the soundboard case using jedi mind trickery, thoroughly impressed and i've been running schoeps for a 20+yrs
