Clip, pendant or both

Where you wear a recorder decides how good the audio is. Our research found the collar is the best place: about 15 to 20 cm from your mouth. A pendant on top of clothing comes close, at 20 to 30 cm, but under a jumper the fabric rustles against the microphone. A chest-worn microphone also hears people behind you about 8 dB more quietly. Pockets and bags do not work, whatever the microphone.

The v0.1 case already has a magnet back for a garment plate and a lanyard loop. This vote tells us which carrier to get right first.

This is advisory: we will run a wear-position test on our own recordings before we decide, and publish the results with the outcome.
