Re: Portable Field Recorders

[Ian Popperwell <popperwell@iname.com>]

Hi,

There's some good (but expensive) pro minidisc recorders available made for
the
broadcast market from Marantz and HHB + I think there might be a Tascam 
model.
They're much better built and specified than the little "Walkman" MDs and
worth
checking out.

As for mics, I guess it depends what you want to record. The Marantz and 
HHB
Pro Md recorders have XLR sockets with Phantom power, so you would have a 
good
choice of mics either with or without an external preamp (I don't know what
the
internal mic amps are like).

Hope this helps.

Ian.
