From 6,000 to 12,000 the noise is less smooth. For me it makes the noise more noticed even though there is none from 12,000 to 20,000 that exsists in the...
"Noise??" What I meant about "hiss" in my posting about the coyotes, was typical electronic noise. As I heard it, I couldn't believe it was hiss from the NT1A....
John -- I found it interesting you were using level settings from 7-10 with the PMD670. I don't have much additional gain at settings over 7 with my PMD670,...
