It looks like it has lots of potential. I want to use it for backup wedding videography audio.

This <A HREF="http://home.rustradio.org/~rdvdijk/microtrack/" REL="nofollow">noise floor analysis</A> seem to indicate that the 1/4" input is out of whack. There's 25dB more dynamic range using the 1/8" jack? Odd.<BR/><BR/>Core Sound have a fledgling <A HREF="http://www.core-sound.com/microtrack_2496/6.php" REL="nofollow">comparison</A> to their own PDA-centred recording system. Notably they have found that the phantom power supplies only 30 V, not the full 48 V it should to be on spec. Also, the noise floor in no way reaches the 24-bit range, rather being closer to 16 or 17 bits. Their conclusion is that this unit will provide quality equivalent to MD but no better.robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08743788064455642852noreply@blogger.com
