Re: [microsound] re: a good mobile field sound recorder?



Hi Graham,

A friend of mine reported the phantom power being definitely lower than 48V, so you might double-check your mic's specs.
Other disadvantages:
Long startup time (12 secs)
Battery can just be charged via USB i think


PS: the jacks are stereo jacks, thus providing the same connection as XLRs, but you have to get/make an adapter cable.

lg,P

i think i'm leaning toward that m-audio box... what's the deal with those 1/4 inch mic inputs though that are supposed to provide phantom power? do you just use some kind of converter pin to XLRs?

I have the ZOOM H4 now for about 3 weeks and I really like it.
It is the cheapest of all flash recorders, has the XLR inputs with phantompower you need and
the quality is ok for me. You can carry it always around with you as it is
little enough and the mics are not too bad I think (I have to test them in a critical situation, like low volume
source material, to find out if the amps are noisy or not; till now I could not detect any noise coming from the
amps but I recorded not very quiet things).
I don´t think you do anything wrong in purchasing the H4, but if you are interested, I try to record some low volume material to find out more about the mic-amps (I could even give you a link to the results if it helps)
cheers
