Questions & Answers

When using the external microphone, how does the audio quality compare? Thanks a lot! ?

Sincerely, I did not think much of it. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to send It was much more convenient to use an external mic with a xoom product. have found, however, that the Tascam DR-81 is the best lavalier mic recorder I have found

What are the number of lav microphones included with this? Is there any way for us to find out how many jacks there are? It is a must that I have at least two ?

There's probably a need for the Tascam Dr- The adapter I patch into the 40 appears to be the same as the one in the 40, but is different. There are 3 adapters I have, one with 3 XRL inputs, one with 2, and another that I use to convert to an XLR.

This device supports multiple microphones. Can I connect several microphones to it?

As stated in its specs, it has stereo input, so with a splitter cable, two microphones can be plugged into it at once and both channels will be recorded. My speculation is based on the fact that I do not own the device, I just want to buy it.

There's nothing good about this recorder
3/5

Having purchased this item in July of After about 6 months after purchase, the recorder began sending a message the disc was full after 20 minutes of recording. A vendor was contacted, and the device was requested to be reset to original factory settings, but this did not fix the issue. The vendor was notified of the Despite repeated troubleshooting requests, this recorder has yet to respond. Do not buy it. Basically, it's a waste of time. Customer service meets these standards as well.

It's a great combo of a recorder and a microphone
5/5

This recorder remains a good choice. The sound quality is great. It has a decent selection of features and options. There is one thing to remember, though you cannot just plug it into a camera and expect it to record like a The mixer should be turned on by going into the settings. The bundle comes with a great lavalier mic that you can use with or without the DR05. The cord is also long enough to be fully functional. The height would be about 10 feet. I am pretty satisfied with the result. The only thing you'll be missing are a foam filter, but a pair can be found on Amazon for about $2-25 However, if one had been included, that would have been great.

I purchased this to record the live music at a wedding ceremony for the couples wedding video
5/5

I purchased this because it gives great sound quality at a reasonable price. As someone who does videos for many years without ever using a separate sound recorder, I haven't had much experience with one. In this DR you will find It was very nice to hear the piano, guitar, and singer being recorded by 05. Specifically, the wireless microphone was on the groom, who was some distance away from the singers. Without the wireless mic, only background noise would have been heard. Then I will use it on all my A great sound, a lot of features, and an affordable price make this a great value.

There will be no lines of input! You'll need to step up a level for the ability to connect a line input from a sound board to this unit
3/5

This unit is good for field recording, but it does not allow you to connect a sound board.

Too good to be true
4/5

have been recording voice with this for a while, plus like to use it a lot for nature sounds. Depending on your environment, it might work a little too well, as it picks up even little noise, such as an air conditioner or the wind. Find a quiet space and there you go, but be prepared to learn if you are new to it. For the learning curve, it gets a 4 out of 5.

The LV needs some work, but the recorder itself is great
3/5

There isn't much more to say about this recorder, aside from a belt clip and a strap, because it is clearly a budget-friendly model An item that is friendly to the environment. There are more expensive ones if you want more features, but this one does the basics well. The pocket organizer would be useful if it included a clip for attaching it to your belt or rig since it is way too bulky to carry around There was a clip I had to fab. "- " I would still have given it a 5 despite this I would have given it five stars if the lav mic hadn't been included. There will be two options provided by the recorder. This bias power comes with 3v of bias voltage (see below), but the included lav voltage is In reverse-engineering, the following was discovered An engineering-related field The system is set up to use about a 10v supply The amounts need to be raised to 16v so that the levels are useful. As long as the machine is powered by internal power (which can be supplied by an LR44 that had failed), I have two sets of non-working batteries My batteries are rechargeable, so I have to keep track of them. Moreover, I usually forget to shut off the lav and the batteries drain overnight because I forget to turn off the lav. In addition, the combined length of the two cables is over 10 feet, so I always have a wad of cord in my Please note My lav mic works okay, but the plastic clip that holds it to my lapel broke after a few weeks, so I may use it for a directional mic. If the seller wants to reduce the price, he or she should remove the mic and offer the recorder without it. The following is the full text of the paragraph Please go to It seems that the BOYA PX-400 has been sold with a bunch of different lavs over the years, hence I refer to it as the BOYA PX-400. The letter "LM". A suggestion I would give to the manufacturer of the BOYA mic would be to use a cheap voltage regulator (like a LM385) instead of just resistors and to make the cord removable-- The pros are Please note Please, enter price.
It has a good sound. Please note The ease of use of the program. Please note There are many helpful settings available. The cons are Please note You won't find a clip or a strap on it. Please note Considering how bulky it is, wearing it is a bit of a chore. Please note There is no money to be made on the Lav Mic. A list of Mic Input Pinouts is given below Here's a tip There is a mic input on the left side. This ring
The microphone is connected to the R This ring
The bias power for the microphone is 3 volts. *Brief on shield That's the ground.
