Handheld recorders

Post by novosibir » Tue Jul 07, 2009 9:25 pm

Does anyone have some experience with the 'mid class' handy recorders like:

- Sony PCM-D50
- Tascam DR-100
- Marantz PMD 661
- or something comparable

and can recommend one out of these?

I've tried recording a nearly dimed 100W head with a Zoom H2 and I'm totally disappointed!
This small toy obviously can't take the loudness coming from big amps!

TIA!

The fault almost always is sitting in front of the amp :wink:

I'm using an Edirol R09 for recording band practices and gigs. So far, I didn't have any problem with it taking high SPL (e.g. loud band and using a dimed, un-attenuated 50w Marshall). The sound is pretty decent too.

I didn't try the other recorders mentioned in your previous post so I don't know how the Edirol compare with them.
