We've been using the M-Audio Microtrak 24/96. Also not cheap (around $300), but pro quality, with both a good mic and the ability to plug in any other mic you might want (1/8" or 1/4") and stereo controls. Handles both voice and music nicely; can be set up to output wma or mp3 files, uses a standard flash memory card.
My only criticism is that has a rechargeable internal battery and you can't use it while it's charging. http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/MicroTrack2496-main.html Deb Wythe Deborah Wythe Head, Digital Collections and Services Brooklyn Museum 200 Eastern Parkway Brooklyn, NY 11238 tel: 718 501 6311 fax: 718 501 6145 deborahwythe at hotmail.com ----Original Message Follows---- From: David Lynx <[email protected]> Reply-To: Museum Computer Network Listserv <mcn-l at mcn.edu> To: Museum Computer Network Listserv <mcn-l at mcn.edu> Subject: [MCN-L] Digital recorders Date: Fri, 18 May 2007 12:41:22 -0700 I have been using this little Olympus digital recorder for podcasts, etc., but now I am thinking it picks up too much background noise. I can add a mic to it, and the computer mic I have is not too bad, it cuts down a lot of the background. There must be some better quality computer mics out there. I was also interested what other digital recorders people are using.
