Hello all,
Here recently, I started looking into a decent handheld recorder,
specifically one with the ability to record in fairly high quality
stereo and also be used as an external microphone for a computer.
While searching around for documentation on the different models,
apparently quite lacking with blindcooltech no longer working, I came
across this list and was hoping to refresh the interest in this topic
and hopefully get some advice.
So far, from what I've been able to dig up, it's a choice between, the
dm-520 or 620, the ls models, 5, 10, 14 and 100 and of course, the H1
from zoom.
My main issues with locating documentation, specifically on the dm-620
is the fact that several pages on this device state that it does not
have the accessible menus, comparing it to the dm-670, apparently a
device specific to European markets.
This however does not seem to be the case, as other sources state that
it comes with support for use by the visually impaired.
I've been able to locate a few of the podcasts, recorded by Neal Eurs
and am in the process of searching for any others I can find, however,
one thing I still can't find any information on is the ability to use
these devices as an external stereo mic for a computer, outside of
recording. I'm honestly not sure if this is just a lack of me not
knowing the term used to describe this, but even in the manuals for the
olympus devices I've found, I can't find any mention of this. I do know
that the zoom has this ability and also that several devices from
olympus do as well, but I'm just looking for a more complete list of
accurate manuals/documentation.
I'm even considering contacting Olympus, here in the US to ask also, but
I wanted to find a list to hopefully ask other folks who've used these
devices first.
Lastly, I'm looking to spend at most around 200 dollars, hopefully a
little cheaper so any ideas that anyone can give that may fit the bill
would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Blessings.
