Title: Using my Tascam DR-07 w. external mics (OKM II Rock) or just internal
Post by: mr_braun on June 07, 2018, 06:28:42 AM

I know, there are a lot of Tascam / OKM related topics, but not in this constellation:

Dear all,

i am pretty new in the taping business and i want to record some shows.
I searched this board a while and i have to decide for upgrade my stuff.
I only used a digital recorder (Tascam DR-07: http://tascam.com/content/downloads/products/38/DR-07_Manual.pdf) for some shows and i was quite satisfied with the results.
I was only a bit nerved about the sensitivity in stealth situations.
Now i need your opinion about using the in ear mic solution like OKM II Rock (incl. A3 adapter) just in relation to the sound quality.
I have the possibility to get a used set @ 139 or a new set @ 179.

I just want to ask you a simple question: Does it improve my results or should i use the internal mic's from my Tascam DR-07 device?
Or do you think it is more trouble than it's worth with the OKM II Rock set?

I am from Europe and don't want to import mic sets from over sea, that's why i am asking about the OKM II.

Would be glad to read some opinions, thanks a lot!
