Nick has very kindly loaned me his superb Behringer ECM 8000 measurement mic
for me to do my speaker investigations and a very handy disk with test tones
and various tracks on it - including some 'bangs' which, of course, are only
there to entertain immature types who never got over such silly, schoolboy
stuff....

....so, here are two versions of the same 3 short tracks (machine gun,
Chieftain tank, thunderclap) recorded open mic:

They are different amp/speaker pairings, otherwise all else is the same for
both trax and the recording level shenanigans were as much a bugger as they
have been on my little lapel mic!

Anybody care to pick the 'better one'...??

(Headphones on and wick 'em up for best effect!!... ;-)






I had expected them to be rather more similar than they were. Speaker
B has unbelievably peaky treble; it really is most unpleasant
sounding. Of course there is a chance that is the way the track is
meant to sound, but somehow I doubt it. Which was which?

Could you post a direct connection recording for a reference?
