Hi Steve, Thanks for the warning but mine is definitely better now for the re-positioning.
I have tried twiddling the gain pot but nothing seems to change but perhaps there's an AGC somewhere that is overriding it. Do you use yours with Android? If so do you have any experience of it using the phone's attitude/motion to adjust the response? The website seems to suggest that it does this.... POSITION SENSING Combining the built-in motion sensors on the mobile device and Twirling's proprietary algorithms, the Twirling720 Lite is able to sense its position and provide the optimal audio recording no matter how it is positioned. There's no need to adjust the microphone's position manually as you would normally do on all the other devices. I'd quite like to use an extension cable which might spoof this aspect.
