Topic: New SONY PCM-A10

[jerryfreak]

yes there are input noise measurements in this very thread

According to this site here, it seems like the A10 is noiser than the M10?

looks like the Lexar 512GB card yields 483GB of usable space. its cool that you can record to internal media and copy to SD as a backup in the menu

It won't.
Well I haven't tried with this particular product, but I lived in Japan for years and know that many of the JP market products from Sony, Panasonic and others are "homemarket protected" in the hardware and you will need to do a reverse engineering of the firmware to make it work. Not a trivial matter - if at all do-able.

On the fly or just after the fact? cross memory just records to the other media once it runs out of space on the one as far as I could tell

[jerryfreak]

after the fact via menu

works with recorded wavs but wont let you copy music files you load on there

Can I connect my sp mics to this device or would I need a battery box or preamp?

[jerryfreak]

i dont know much about those mics but most people suggest a batterybox for high SPL recording

[scottE]

ok 

[TheImplodingVoice]

Yes, though the frequency response might be flatter using a good battery box / preamp and using the line input of the recorder.
I like to make my own comparisons to see what works and sounds better; the A10 mic in plug-in power might sound great for quieter, acoustic shows.

[scottE]

Thanks. Will check this site to read what is available for batterybox/pre-amp that is small size and good quality

Can anyone provide some screenshots of the iOS app? I know I could look on iTunes App Store. But I would like to see this in action. What are you reviews of it?
