Hello. I would like to ask you if there is a recorder like Sony m10 without mics and headphone?

CCM4>Tinybox>M10 has been good to me.  Super long battery life on Tinybox and M10 both and is a rig about as small as I have ever seen.

I miss Josephine and her contributions.  I wish she would come back.
Shes fully retired from the hobby.
Sold off her gear years ago.

For someone who didn't tape for so many years like some people here, she actually did some great work.

Mics>NBox>recorder is the ultimate for many folks around here.

Schoeps ccm4>tinybox>r05
Dpa4022>sonosax>r05
Dpa4061>mma6000>r05

To me the microphones and preamp/mic-powering-box are the key elements. Use whatever small recorder you like or have on hand behind that: R-05, M10, Tascam, Olympus, whatever.. F1 would seem to be the current champ for maximum tininess potential.  Dr2d works for me (no other comparable option for 4 ch) and the original R-09 prior to that.

MMA6000 is overly large for stealth IMHO.  CA-UGLY works just as well with the DPA miniatures, is 1/4 the size, and passes most metal detectors.  I made that switch 10 years ago.

The obvious exception to this the new DPA d:Vice preamp with USB out to a smartphone, eliminating a separate recorder. 

It is probably the most stealthy arrangement currently available as the preamp is a small, flat puck and the recorder is the phone.  I don't know of anyone here who's done it yet, but the new DPA MMP-GR/GS modular cable which allows non-miniature modular DPA capsules to be used into the d:Vice should also allow those capsules to work with any PIP battery box or miniature preamp that provides low-voltage mic power.  Strong potential for an ultimate stealth rig there.

So one could do something like this:

DPA4015>MMP-GR/GS cable>d:Vice>phone
or
DPA4015>MMP-GR/GS cable>whatever miniature preamp batt/box>whatever miniature recorder
musical volition > vibrations > voltages > numeric values > voltages > vibrations> virtual teleportation time-machine experience

I love my DPA d:screet 4060 mics > d:vice > iPhone.  Personally, it's pretty much fool proof and can be used anywhere without issue.  Granted, I'm recording the drunk asshat next to me but if I'm using Schoeps MK41s > nBox > recorder, I'm also recording said drunk wook so it really makes little difference to me.  I prefer not to be a human mic stand so the 4060's are my current go to.

I like this rig a lot for metal detector stealth.

So I could use my DPA 4061 with this new d:secret? What about DPA 4023? I was reading about it but wondered how well it would work. Using the DPA 4022, schoeps ccm4 are a bit cumbersome since I am a human mic stand.  Although, the omni's tend to pick up everyone around me, but does allow me to be a bit more mobile with my stature.

^ if your DPAs terminate to microdots, which I assume is the case since you use the MMA6000, then yes.

However, only the newer 40xx discrete capsules can be connected to the newer MMA-GR/GS cables that terminate to microdots can be run with the MMA d:vice "puck". The older 402x line will not pair with the d:vice, however.

I use the Tascam DR-2D but yes, that's easy to get through metal detectors.  I still use the NBox Platinum except for the hardest venues.

pardon my ignorance but when you say metal detector stealth are you saying that the metal detectors don't pick this up or just that the equipment looks innocuous enough that you don't get hassled?

Wow.... I had no idea that was the case. That is unbelievably awesome.

Cables are US$430 a pop.  And then capsules at $1300 a pop.  Not cheap but I'm sure it'd work nicely.

Ain't it?

Yes it is. 

Will be very curious to hear of anyone here using the 40xx discrete caps + MMA-GR/GS cables without the MMA d:vice "puck" into the preamps and recorders we already use and know well at TS.   That's a non-officially supported configuration, but is what immediately came to mind as a possibility when I first learned of the MMA-GR/GS cables.
