Re: What is a good stereo mic for the DM-520
hi, thanks, also if I don't want timer recording or anything, how do I turn it off completely, I made one the other day, and it turned off right in the middle of it I hadn't even stopped it it just beeped at me I thought the batteries might had been low but they weren't but when I played it back it played just fine just cut off at the 4 min mark or so so wondering what might have caused that? thanks much! lol this way if I am making something it doesn't cut off right in the middle of it - Original Message - From: "Tim Noonan" To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" Sent: Thursday, December 10, 2009 20:40 Subject: RE: What is a good stereo mic for the DM-520 Very easy, to adjust recording level when set to manual, you press left or right arrows. 16 levels.

RE: What is a good stereo mic for the DM-520
Is that the ECM-MS907? I can vouch for the quality of the audio done using it. The stereo separation is great for a one-point mic; it tends to distort a little bit at high noise levels, but other than that...it's a great mic. Oh, and yeah...I don't know if Sony has finally fixed the design, but I am really not much for how relatively fragile the unit is. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Sunshine Sent: Thursday, December 10, 2009 11:39 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: What is a good stereo mic for the DM-520 i would also like the demos please. - Original Message - From: "Jamie Pauls" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Thursday, December 10, 2009 10:43 PM Subject: Re: What is a good stereo mic for the DM-520 I would really lik those demos.

Very easy, to adjust recording level when set to manual, you press left or right arrows. 16 levels.

Re: What is a good stereo mic for the DM-520
lol have to add the other day I went outside, lit up a ciggerette and took a nice big puff when I played back the recording I made, you could here the tabaco going threw the ciggerette all crackly lol was kind of neat so I am happy with the dm520 internal mikes but would like stereo ones as well. I did notice some times when recording a vehicle or something it kind of fades in and out instead of all the sounds being all nice and blindeed together, some are louder then others - Original Message - From: "Tim Noonan" To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 21:48 Subject: RE: What is a good stereo mic for the DM-520 What isn't immediately apparent about the Dm-520 internal mics is that the unit works a bit like a shot-gun.

RE: What is a good stereo mic for the DM-520
The model of the Soni mic is ESM719. As I've said, I'm happy with it. Now while there is I think really good stereo separation, there is no doubt that two more separated mics would do better; you just have to know that there is some constraint due to space. Also, I wish there was a wind screen included. Nonetheless, it would seem to be a good solution and now I just have to learn how to edit and how to judge proper volume. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Casey Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 7:44 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: What is a good stereo mic for the DM-520 Hi can you pelase send me those audio files of the traffic.

What isn't immediately apparent about the Dm-520 internal mics is that the unit works a bit like a shot-gun. Most of the sound is taken in from the top end of the unit, not from the front or back sides of the machine. So, if you are recording a person, you really want to point the end of the unit towards their voice, not hold the unit vertically. I haven't done major tests with external mics, and I don't know what the real mic preamp noise is like on the machine.

The built-in mic makes some great recordings but environmental recordings are going to be tricky although the writst strap will help. What I need is a decent stereo mic that won't break the bank. Something that clipts to a shirt, fits on glasses or in the ears. Any recommendations?

RE: What is a good stereo mic for the DM-520
I think so. Actually, I could provide you with a pretty decent demo or two if your email could take attachments. I was walking down the street in tn English village and really got some good traffic sound in stereo. I'm quite happy with it as opposed to the internals. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Jamie Pauls Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 5:43 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: What is a good stereo mic for the DM-520 Just curious.

Re: What is a good stereo mic for the DM-520
Hi Jamie. I also just got a dm-520. I'm wondering about external microphones too. I'm a bit disappointed in the handling noise with the internal microphones. So, you really need to put the unit down to make good recordings. I don't think it will work well as a hand held recorder. I tried using it as a voice recorder in my shirt pocket but got a lot of noise when I moved, even slightly. I'm going to try the Sony microphone that came with a cassette recorder when I can find it. Unfortunately, the zoom settings won't work properly with an external microphone.

RE: What is a good stereo mic for the DM-520
There's a nice soni stereo mic that does exactly what you want and yes, it does have a clip. A abit pricy though at about $89.00, depending on where you get it. I got mine with the recorder from Fergeson Enterprises. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Jamie Pauls Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 4:46 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: What is a good stereo mic for the DM-520 I got my new DM-520 today and am having fun with it.
