Re: Zoom H4n alternatives (with XLR in)
The tests I performed with the Tascam DR-40 came out "good". It comes down to budget. I like knowing that we now have options :
$199 Tascam DR-40
$299 Zoom h4n
$499 Roland R-26
Maybe stick a...

Re: Zoom H4n alternatives (with XLR in)
I happen to have here in my hand, the only Roland R-26 outside of the company. So far, so good. It's a bit bigger than a Zoom H4n, the touchscreen is intuitive and zippy. There's big, easy to spin,...

Re: Wired XLR Lav/tie Mic
Which camera will you be plugging into?
For instance, you may want to look at it as an entire "sound package" instead of just blowing the whole budget on the lav only.
Most pros will have a field...

Re: sound quality with field mixer

Re: Wireless Mic
Interesting. Was this an informal test or something that will be published?
Also, if the test was in the UK, was the "more expensive Sennheiser kit" a Sennheiser 2000 series or 3000/5000 series?

Re: Sanken COS-11D on the Sennheiser G2/G3 systems
Good choice in lavs. As long as the Sanken is wired correctly with the Sennheiser locking 3.5mm, it will work with G2 and G3. At our store, we buy the COS-11D's in bulk with "pig tails" then batch...

Re: New 7" HDSDI and HDMI Monitors from Marshall
