the Q3 has it's microphones at 120 degrees.
Thus  while it works perfectly in Bill's
setup to pick up his stereo monitors as
he plays, it's actually useless as 
a stereo recorder in most situations.
(there simply is no such thing as a stereo recording
  setup with that config, just produces "hole in the 
  middle" recordings.)

A real shame that Zoom crippled the product like that,
seems they realised the mistake and equiped the new H1
with the correct 90 degree angle.
