Korg MR1000

Purchased through the black box in 2009.J 'needed it I bought it (new). See specifications below.
I tried a Sony PCM and a Nagra (arrrg!!), Nagra is huge but the price is but it also is worth it.
What I like most is, besides the excellent sound quality, first and foremost tout.Les preamps, (see other review) bons.A frankly I find them less to do in the audiophile I see not!
The least that is the menu navigation is a bit of a chore at first, ie it must press it to go and then press it again in the edition to return to the format for files, finally Other than that no case is the souci.Après plastoc station then has to leave in the bag once you choose your mics branchés.Donc Wave format, AIFF ... you name your record by calling the letters with the wheel ( set or not), the limiter, I put on record and pause here! sound great!
But I think if I had to redo a choice I would go see at Sound Devices, cheaper, shielded box type stuff militaire.J 've had in my hands I loved the robustness. The difference is the storage compact flash and that's great, Korg has an internal hard drive 40 gigas.Mais it is not the same quality of materials. The MR 1000 is superior, we be in agreement.
In conclusion: it is expensive to use as I fait.Mais attention is a device that has outstanding performance when meme.Rien to do with the models of pockets ok? It is extraordinary: the multiplicity of formats, preamps (though one says), the hard disk recording, the screen and the VU meters. It was tested on the site of AFDERS compared with a Nagra Ares that costs double when the same! When you know the degree of requirement for audiophiles!

Simplicity is the watchword of this recorder pro numrique

Good quality gnrale Trs, when recording sound with good micro trs

15 days of use, trs well and complements well my portable recording equipment with my Schoeps.
The transfer of sound is to give a simplicity and processing of sound files with the software is intuitive ddi.

A bandwidth of 56KHz is more than enough for the moment is the maximum right now for micro high-end pro, what matters most is the flatness of the strip in the area of ​​the human audible (20Hz -20KHz). The rest does not give an impression psychologist softer and ar, but only with speakers or headphones trs high-end audiophile (over the pair 10000Euros hp ...

Connectors numrique: USB2B

DSD 2.8 MHz and 5.6 MHz
Storage: 40 GB hard drive, autonomy 60 hours, 44.1 16bit and 7 pm in the format most lev recognized by the computer as a memory storage hassle free.
No external sync

Current drain on internal battery 8 x LR6 which is shared by 2 x 4 lments LR6 set the PARALLEL electronic power, so 2 x 6 V alkaline batteries or 2 x 4.8 V NiMh: 0.8 0.9 Ampres recording with 48 V supply ghost of consuming 2 microphones 2 x 10 mA. Autonomy provides for four hours by the manufacturer but not verifies, without equips only with microphones very very very very greedy at 48 V.
Under the same conditions by taking 12 V external power consumption is only 450 mA under the same conditions, requiring constant power. There is therefore every intrt fed by the external power jack with a battery of 8 lments outdoors NiCd 10 Volt 4 Ah R20 format for example, which is between 9.6 V and 12 V, in the pocket that will provide an 8-10 hours as our good old Nagra. Thus the high consumption of registration numrique GENERALLY will forget, otherwise ....

APRS effectus all tests on this unit is that part s'aperoit prampli microphone is totally rethink because not made with a ral experiment of micro prampli indeed saturates the prampli of 600 mV peak-peak-in between the power pack is also change at the battery and recharging To reduce about half of the supply current consumed. They are two points totally unacceptable from a manufacturer as Korg.
