Recordist's notes
Brandung der 0,7 bis 1m hohen Wellen, die am Sandstrand auflaufen. Der sehr konstante Wind ist zum Glück nicht zu hören. Das Mikro lag in einem Leinenbeutel auf dem Sand, ca. 2m von der Brandung entfernt. Aufnahme mit dem Olympus LS12 und dem Badewannen-Doppelnackenkissen-Mikrofon (eine Weiterentwicklung des SASS-Mikros.) _______________________ The 0.7 to 1m high waves crashing onto the sandy beach. Fortunately, the very constant wind is inaudible. The microphone was placed in a canvas bag on the sand, about 2m from the surf. Recorded with the Olympus LS12 and the bathtub double neck pillow microphone (a further development of the SASS microphone).
