Hi Gus, I would definitely trust the Sound Devices, particularly the 788 series for work in rugged conditions
The Zylia would need its dedicated recorder, otherwise you have to use a laptop (it connects with USB). It’s definitely an interesting mic but in terms of audio quality you can’t compare it to the Schoeps. I would think anything with prof connectors is going to be a better idea on a long trip. You can always solder the cables yourself if something breaks. No way you’d want to take a Zyllia to pieces! I’m curious why you’re thinking ORTF-3D and not a conventional soundfield (or octamic?) if you’re going to be hanging around the rainforest? best, Justin. > On 20 Oct 2020, at 18:00, sursound-requ...@music.vt.edu wrote: > > Message: 7 > Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2020 21:12:45 +0100 > From: Augustine Leudar <augustineleu...@gmail.com> > To: Surround Sound discussion group <sursound@music.vt.edu> > Subject: Re: [Sursound] Recorder for ORTF-3D OUTDOOR SET > Message-ID: > <cabx2jur+nb6aryzorpraqvgmbt+f+umc_6jb1xolub_maoa...@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Ha - theres no way I could afford it for myself its for a grant application > Im doing.
