Best value:
Excellent
I received Saturday, April 21, 2007 one of the first copies of this unit (599 euros).
The improvement (relative to FOSTEX FR2) deals with power who can use a rechargeable 7.2 V @ 3800 mAh (or 4200 mAh) with Tamiya plug (name of the standard dose), which provides eight hours of autonomy. Note that the battery pack of 7.2 V Ni-MH worth between 25 and 50 euros and it must also buy a quick charger (50 euros). This material is in stores radiomodélisme (google-ize the term Tamiya 7.2 V). The power supply has become very simple, free exotic EIAJ connector found nearly four in Europe. CFC card may have a capacity of 4 and G0 but the files generated when recording do not exceed 4GB.
There is no digital I / O, but the quality of the preamps is the appointment and provides the use of a preamp. externe.La output to a PC is USB 2.0 but the use of an unloader portable card or external card reader CFC makes the operation very easy.
The characteristic I like least is the all-plastic, which gives an impression of fragility (particularly CFC card door and that of the battery compartment).
Two drawbacks: it only records in stereo and the files are not deleted from the CFC card (for security). The place will be recovered by re-formatting formatage.Le implies a choice in the sample and setting: 16 or 24 bits or MP3, 44, 48, 88, 92 khz.
The amplifier monitoring is a bit noisy. The setting of Trimmers microphones and the recording level is yet to theorize.
I have experience of 4 S Nagra, the Sony DAT TD Pro 2, the FOSTEX FR2. I have not tried other recent digital recorders.
The price / quality ratio is excellent.
