h that's 1 of the things I've been putting to the test with my H6. That
whole the human ear can't hear super HD 96 KHZ or 192 KHZ 24 bits audio
thing. Now if you think of it as a frequency responce thing that should
be true. Hell not only can't you hear it, most condencers can't. But
it's not necessarily a frequency thing. Another ingenier on Scott
Wilkinson's Home Theater Geeks show explained it this way. Andy you were
right. It's a resolution thig. It's like being able to take 192 pictures
per second. He compaired it to the rappid fire camera shutter clicking
you hear at presidentual things or what not. The 24 bits gives you more
open dinamic range. Things don't over load and destort as easy I suppose
and you can get louder and quieter in 24 bits. Again someone help out
here if you wish I'm no real audio expert like Neal or this man that
helped you out Andy. But I'm just telling ya what I have heard other
experts say. I say again if I had an F8N best believe it bro 192 KHZ 24
bits is the first thing that gets set on it. Oh and on your clip on
mics. If they use the little head phone like plug they won't use
phantum. They use what's called plug in power. So you'll need the Zoom
XYH6 peace or even the XY H5 peace. Then connect them to that.

Hi Dane and list.
Further to my last message a few weeks ago when I advised that I had
secured the assistance of my local bar maid to describe the layout
and functions of my Zoom F8N, and that I had also secured assistance
in setting my device up by the Radio Operations Manager at BBC Radio
Scotlands flagship at Pacific Quay.
Well guys all went very well indeed.
I recorded the bar maid on my old Olympus DS50, so I can return to
that as often as I need. The BBC engineer's visit was slightly later
than planned and I simply forgot all about making a recording! Shame
that.
Anyway Dane. You were right, the functionality is laid out very
simply and very tactilly and like you said, it's going to be a piece
of cake.
Although I was wanting him to set up 24 bit WAV at 192, he recomended
against this and droped to the standard of 40 or 48. He stated that
the human ear really could not tell the difference. I just wanted it
because it was there.
After he asked me of the kind of recording I did, he recommented that
tracks 1 through 4 should be on microphone and tracks 5 through 8 Line
in.
Anyway I couldn't argue with a sound engineer of our capital radio
station, haha.
Anyway it's all done now and I intend to use my old X Y and Side angle
microphones to plug directly into the device for desk-top or table-top
recordings.
But it's a Field Recorder so I want to get out and about in the
streets and record things, so the clip-on microphones will be of
little use as the device will be in a sound bag.
So I'm looking for a good microphone that I can attach to my jacket.
I would love to use my BSM Binaural microphones for this but I don't
know exactly how to do this. Obviously I'd need an adaptor to take
the small plug up to quarter of an inch. But would I need Phantom
power turned on, on that channel?
One thing is for sure I cannot walk through the streets of Glasgow
with a guide dog on my left, a sound bag hanging from my right and me
holding a microphone out in front of me. This is why I like the BSm 9
Clip on microphones.
Any advice regarding how best to use my BSM binaural microphones out
of doors or an alternative type of body microphone that anyone can
recommend would be very helpful.
Very best wishes.
Andy.

Subject: Re: [all-audio] To Dane and list
I’m not laughing and I’m very lucky I guess in that I’m curious and I
get some sighted assistance every now and then to give me a hand.
Firstly the Zoom F8N stands on 4 rubber feet which are placed on the
bottom of the recorder so you know where the bottom is by the feel of
the rubber feet.
The top is easily identified by 4 slotted screws that hold the
recorder into the rack mount.
There is a handle on each side of the recorder so when the recorder is
standing on its rubber feet these each handle will be protruding from
either side of the recorder.
The display of the recorder therefor is on the front left with the
control panel taking up the rest of the area on the front panel.
On the left hand side you have tracks 1 through 4 as XLR/TRS inputs
along with the 2 SD Card slots and the multi function USB port.
On the right hand side you have tracks 5 through 8 XLR/TRS inputs
along with the external power supply socket mini XLR out sockets, a
sub output socket and the headphones socket.
On the back from left to right there is the Zoom Capsule connector
which has a cover over it, 2 sockets which are for Time syncing with a
video camera and so on and the 9 volts DC power socket for the
supplied AC adapter.
At the bottom on the recorder at the back in the centre is the screw
to you losen to remove the battery compartment door so you will have
to turn the recorder upside down to insert batteries.

Hi Dane and list.
Regarding my Zoom F8n, I managed to secure the assistance from the
BBC Radio Scotland's, radio Operations Manager today by phone and I'm
delighted that he is willing to set up my Zoom F8n for me.
This is fantastic because I don't know anyone up here in the
wilderness of Scotland who could help me out.
So I'm meeting him a his work in 2 weeks time and although the
setting up should be simple for him, I'm still very unsure of the
device I've purchased.
I'm hoping to get my local bar maid to describe the recorder and it's
buttons and also the Zoom bag that I also purchased and of course
I've also got Youtube.
But I really got to ask Dane this silly question.
I've unboxed my Zoom and it looks as though it stands on it's left
side vertically, however the rather large and clumsy Zoom F8n bag I
purchased will only take the device laying on it's back.
So how would anyone see the display on the right edge if it's in a bag?
Dane, I'm sure will be having a good old laugh at me, as I've had the
device for about 3 months now.
So please dane, be gentle with me, hahaha!
Very best wishes.
Andy.
