ACX Dang that noise floor

[Trebor]

5. Zoom H2 I also have a little hand-held Zoom H2, and last week gave that a try, wedging it in the desk mic stand (w spider shock mount). I think it sounds better than the C-1U, and it gives more options in terms of gain; there’s a 3-way switch on the mic itself. This recording is set on Medium:

Zoom H2 sample wav
laryngitis.wav (1.47 MiB) Not downloaded yet

The H2 recording is far better than the C-1U: much lower noise-floor.
Here I’ve mixed the H2 recording down to mono, DeEssed, DeClicked, & expanded …

It passes ACX no problem.

[ I’m nitpicking now:
there is a metallic resonance on “hoping that this”, like the springs on those mic boom arms ringing ]
