TSKB - smallest 24bit recorder with line in....
« on: July 12, 2016, 07:24:06 PM »
What are some small 24bit recorders that have 1/8" line in?

Doesn't even have to have mics.....a headphone out would be nice.

What are y'all thoughts about what's available in 2016.......hardware, or phones and apps?

Thanks

My first choice would be an M10 while you can still get them.

Next I'd go for the smaller Tascams - they all have a 1/8" in: DR-05, 40, 100, 22WL, 44WL.

If you need smaller than that, maybe you're into the realm of "voice recorders" from Sony or Olympus, but I don't know if any of them do 24bit or if they have external inputs.

I personally like the Tascam DR-2D.  Its discontinued but they appear on EBay frequently.  Battery life not great but using Lithium AA's its fine.  Someone has a 22WL in YS

DR-2d also has a lot of metal, which can be both good and bad. I think the M-10 and Roland units have much less metal.

Marantz PMD 620MKII and Roland R-05 both about the same size and both are well designed.

Interesting - but designed for video with only a 48kHz samling frequency.

I've kept an eye on these recorders.  The super small size, no non-sense recording-only feature-set, and single battery powering is attractive.  And that they only run at a 24bit/48kHz recording rate is fine by me.  It's that they only record one input channel which is the deal killer.  It's unfortunate they don't offer a stereo input version, as these are capable of writing stereo files to the memory card - the second channel being used for recording a lower level "dual recording" safety copy of the mono input.
