Sony PCM-M10 (Part 4)
« on: October 01, 2010, 01:23:43 AM »
continuation of 3 threads on discussion of the sony m10.

Part 3:  http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=136665.0
part 5: http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=145955.0
Has anyone returned their m10 due to resetting the clock each time you power it on?


EDIT:
poll added so hopefully we can track the issue better. please vote if it pertains to you.

edit again:
it seems there may be speculation with the end user not actually saving the time prior to exiting the clock menu in the m10. please re-try setting the time and saving.

Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.

Can you use the USB socket on the side to real-time record into an external portable drive of some kind?

No, but why would you want to considering the inexpensive high capacity MicroSD cards available now?

whats the longest take you could manage on an M10 then, fmaderjr...?

I tend to do BIG recording trips away without a computer- what the largest card size (at a decent format) it could manage do you think...?

hang on- I've got the specs of the D50 here; do you think they are comparible...?

It's quoting the maximum time using the internal memory as 6hrs 25m @ 44.1K/16 bit. Does that sound accurate?

If it is anything like the r44 (im just guessing as my M10 is in transit to me now). You should get ~4 hours on internal memory (4 gig) but then throw in a 16gb microsd and you get another 15+ hours @ 24/48.. or if you are a 16/44 guy you can run all day on 16gig.

Thanks Neil- that's great!

Does the M10 accomodate a 16Gb card with no problems?

I've had no problems recording with a Lexar 16 GB card on my M10.

That sounds right. It doesn't matter what recorder you have-the record time will be with same with the same kHz/bit rate settings and the same amount of memory.

(From Part 3)

since there is still discussion which rec level setting gives 0dB of amplification from line in to line out, I pulled out my old Radio RIM PG 100 (a battery powered 1khz sine generator with attenuator and AC millivoltmeter). Calibration was checked against a Hameg HM8012 4 1/2 digit True RMS DMM.


Here are my findings:

0dB from line in to line out (1Ohm source resistance, 100k load resistance, Limiter and low cut off): Rec level at 6.2 (estimated).

While I was at it, I checked some levels at that setting:

-12dB on the level meter: approximately 245mV
-6dB on the level meter: approximately 490mV
0dB (FS)  on the level meter: approximately 940mV.

Very interesting; thanks, Rainer!  Were these voltages measured at the line-in or the line-out?  The reason I ask is that Sony says the line-in minimum input level is 500 mV, which is about what you measured at -6dB on the meter.  Seems to me (an electronics illiterate) that a voltage equivalent to the minimum input level should produce a meter reading lower than -6dB at unity gain?  Is it possible that the M10 drops the level between the input and output (i.e. a "pro", or at least pro-ish, level input and a "consumer" level output)?
