I use a D1 pcm for 2 months and every day, bought on a trusted site in Canada ...

micro very good, and easily adaptable, I use it in addition to a couple Shoeps ms / nagra v, and even if it is not like the pcm d1 defends really well ... environments for unexpected or fleeting in stores, metro, lift etc ...

and as a recorder coupled preamp with SX or MixPre m2 of sound device it is not far from a Nagra V for half the price and 1 / 4 weight (less than 1kg) ...

well as on all the microphones are very sensitive, and we touch the body of the microphone that makes noise (though the recorder is also the body of the microphone for the pcm d1 but note that there is no cable ...) and again we learn to use it, after a week I change the volume easily and quietly when needed. just leave your finger

my only regret is that the device does not power plug as the tcd-d8 (Sony DAT) It would have served for one of my small electret microphones. (Omission corrected on dailleurs pcm d50 as the life of batteries)

2 volumes of left and right channels can be changed separately, VU meters pleasant and very reactive (super convenient) a limiter Excellent flexible and difficult to Dectect (you really have to push to hear ...)

the quality / price is right, if we consider the very good built-in microphone and the quality of the recorder.

Attention is also sound Japanese (hyper detailed, cold, 30Hz to 30Kz) for the warmer sound use other microphones with preamps as SX m2, m3i, sound devices etc ...

16h recording time with 3 sets of 4 rechargeable 2600 mA
With experience, you do again this choice? ...
as I bought at half price so ... otherwise the pcm d50 ... to have tested the other recorders on the market for small preamps, the pro and semi pro format ... the new dcd d8 what ...
