Topic: Sony ECM-719 in 2024

[clover182]

Hi!

So Im fairly new to taping (I have used a phone in both 2021, 2023 and 2024) and while there were variable results, Im looking to upgrade.
I plan to buy an old model Zoom H1 or a Tascam DR-05x and use this with a Sony ECM-719 which I bought not that long ago. Would I need to use a battery box?

The microphone has a bit on the back where you can put an LR44 battery though, would this be sufficient?

Thanks!

You wouldn't need to. But I suggest running plug in power on there if you can. Definitely helps!
