The little microphones built in give pretty decent sound reproduction, but I have tried several higher quality plug in mics with better results, (Or, if there is a sound man at a concert, I have had him plug the unit directly into the soundboard through the headphone output using a 1/4 to 1/8 inch stereo converter). I have a friend with a Sony who loves it as well. As with digital encoding, the process of encoding a signal is the same, regardless of what unit. WHat matter most is the fidelity of the microphone, and so the smaller units (like the Tascam) do best with a higher quality mic. > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: andy butler <akbut...@tiscali.co.uk> > To: lute <lute@cs.dartmouth.edu> > Cc: Lute List <lute@cs.dartmouth.edu> > Sent: Sat, Jun 16, 2012 10:20 am > Subject: [LUTE] Re: Portqble recorders > > > > i've used the Zoom H2 quite a lot. > > It depends on how much you want to spend, and what you mean by CD quality. > > .and how portable. > > The Zoom certain gets excellent results considering that it fits in > the pocket alongside plenty of left over cash. > > If you're going to be recording your own cd then you'll really benefit > from studio quality condenser mics, and good preamps. > If you already have a laptop it's possible to work out an excellent > portable system without frightening expense. > (more info if that's the way you want to go). > > andy > > > > Anthony Hart wrote: >> Has anyone had any experience of CD quality portable recorders for >> recording live performances (legally)? >> >> I have seen specs for several including ZOOM, Tascam >> >> Grateful for any help >> >> > > > To get on or off this list see list information at > http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html > > > > -- >
