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. I hope it is a lot better
than the audio quality on the DS-71 when external mics are used, as it was
below par in my view.
For the record, this machine isn't very downwards compatible with the mic
extension cord and remote switch that comes with the DS-50 and the DS-71.
I
made a remote recording the other day, only to find it was blank. This was
with a monaural external mic. Wasn't very happy.

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.

Just curious. Do you use the wrist strap and the case both? Not sure if I
like both but I'd like to hear from other users. Also, do you find that
the
external mic you mentioned gives good stereo separation?

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.

I got my new DM-520 today and am having fun with it. 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?
