454 -Below the corner frequency 0.2 Hz (i.e. 5 seconds) the response still does a good job, but may need to be dialed in a bit. We are looking into this.
449 +The 5 Hz nodes are susceptible to horizontal noise due to the placement of geophones in the units, **but this can be mitigated by completely burying the units flush with the ground.** In the below example, the node was set on the floor of our basement set on its plastic carrying case support.
