Subject: Re: looking for a good stereo microphone to conduct
podcast interviews
Greetings,
I am not sure if it is still made but I use a Sony ECM970 which
is a small
hand-held single-point stereo-mic with three-position switch -
towards the
hand is off, middle is narow- and nearest the head is wide-band
stereo. It
is powered by a single AA batterey, I have a metal hydride in
mine and one
charge has lasted well over a year. When the charge goes, it
*8sudd**suddenly** goes, takes about half a minute or less, fades
and then
gone unlike most dry cells which in my experience of some forty
years, give
good power for a fair time then over a period of (say) two or
three hours,
fade giving worse and worse sound.
Metal hydride batteries need a special charger, cannot charge
with one used
for the old-fashioned nycads, they do not have a memory as did
nycad
batteries and they can last about a thousand charging cycles but
when they
fail, they fail completely.
I've been using them for the last half-dozen or so years and have
used many
many in all kinds of equipment; in the time, have had about
three duds and
five finished their lives.

Southern England.
