If you're interested, this was taken with my TC153 and a cheapo
audio-technica stereo mic meant for video recorders 10ft from the
stage of a small church in the centre aisle, on a camera tripod.

Pity about the hiss and distortion though.


Would that be hiss and distortion as in 'sex and violence'? There is
some hiss, but not a lot of distortion, and the point was that it's
representative of what you're likely to get if you just walk into a
room
armed with a recorder rather than get the chance to set it up properly.
I think it sounds a bit thin, but that's cheapo mics for you.

The hiss sounds like band limited Dolby hiss typical of cassette
recorders. the distortion could be from a number of sources but the tape
itself is a
prime one. I think the only way your TC153 would flatten a minidsik
recorder is if it were dropped on it.
