Hi Rob,
Looks great! I was actually looking for something just like that! I was considering The Marantz PMD660 - 671 or Maycom http://www.maycom.nl/main.html portable recorder. But the M-audio looks like a winner! Can't wait for it! |
That looks like a great option to the practice of slipping an iRiver or minidsc recorder into the pocket of talent or the celebrant or the groom in a wedding party.

I doubt you want to slip a 7.4 x 6.9 x 2.2", 1.1 lbs unit into a groom's pocket. I wouldn't call this unit "Micro"track, but it does have nice features for a modest sized two channel digital recorder.

Joseph,
Where did you get those dimensions? They don't seem to be available at the M-Audio site. They are clearly incorrect. 7.4" x 6.9" is nearly square. The product on the site is rectangular. The RCA inputs give you a sense of scale as well. No way is it more than 2" thick. Up to this point I've been a minidisc fan, but this is pretty hard to pass up. It may be the perfect mate to the Core Sound Mic2496. http://www.core-sound.com/Mic2496.html |
Using the RCA inputs as a reference - it is approx (very Approx) 6cm x 3.5cm x 14.5 - or in imperial units about 2.2" x 1.4"x 6.9". I think that the 7 should in fact be a 1!
Can't say anything about the weight, but it looks like it might be a very handy device - will have to keep an eye on this one! Graeme |
I hope that DV Mag or some other publication runs it through tests. I was very disappointed to find out that the Fostex FR2 apparently doesn't have good enough preamps to justify 24 bit recording. It's probably expecting too much of this thing to do better.

Agreed. It also looks like a good option for double system sound, especially if you pair it with a separate AD converter. The IRiver seems like just a little too much of a consumer device for serious use to me. This thing looks like it has more thoughtfully laid out controls. Although in the picture, I didn't see any DB markings on the meter. At least it has one.

I went to my favorite and most trusted video gear supplier, B&H Photo, to get the dimensions. I agree, the picture doesn't fit the stated dimensions. Just for completeness (and so no one thinks I'm crazy) I've included the B&H link below.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...ughType=search I was misled. With the smaller dimensions, this unit is truly remarkable. Joseph |

Minidiscs do, at least the Sony models I own.
