hi, to adjust level manually, when you are making a recording press left to turn volume down, right to turn it up, no beeping or anything, will have to play it back and adjust it when you make a recording. hth - Original Message - From: Tim Noonan t...@timnoonan.com.au To: 'PC Audio

I decided to get the sound professionals binaural mics used on so many Blind Cool Tech podcasts. They are model SP-TFB-2. Together with a bag to keep the mics in the total was $81. With my $25 Pay Pal reward voucher it came down to around $56. Not a bad price. If I decide to get the wind screens

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

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

Very easy, to adjust recording level when set to manual, you press left or right arrows. 16 levels. To increase playback monitor volume through headphones while recording, up and down arrows work in the usual way. Regards Tim Tim Noonan Director, Vocal Branding Australia Transforming products,

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

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

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
