New Device...Ipod Recording Dock to replace Zoom H4?
I used a Zoom H4 for quick n dirty back-up recording. It was stolen on a job. I thought the sound was very good, for the price, but I have not purchased a new back-up recording device yet. I never really loved the Zoom H4's menu or ergonomics. But I just found this in today's B&H newsletter:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc..._COMPUTER.html http://www.alesis.com/content1463 Can any of you audio experts think of any reason why I should not replace my Zoom H4 with one of these? It's $100 cheaper and can deliver substantially longer record times, it seems. What would the downsides be? Thanks. |

Looks like it's not battery powered. If you're going for fieldwork, you're better of with a more portable solution.

i was thinking more in terms of comparing audio quality of recording to an ipod versus to an SD card on the zoom device, but you raise a very good point and one i had overlooked.
so strike one...what else? |

Don't know what the recording codec/quality would be and if it can be changed. Also you can get the H4's for around the same price if you look for it. George/ P.S. Sorry for taking so long typing, that others beat me to it... Last edited by George Kroonder; February 25th, 2008 at 01:13 PM. Reason: I aparently took too long typing... |
