Topic: Sony PCM-M10 (Part 7)

Yup, I just did a recording that was mics > battery box > MIC IN (low sens) at level 6 w/ max peaks at -12dB.  Even after normalizing to -1dB it's nice and clean.  Go for it - you won't be disappointed.

Confirmed.  Have done this many times myself.  I also make sure PIP is off.

I have not got anywhere near 40 hrs of battery, more like 18-20 for me but that isn't straight it is start stop

no just recording with mem hitting the backlight button here and there

Anybody got much experience using the mic-in on the M10?

I am wondering, if I go mics > BB > mic-in and still get levels at say -6dB to -12dB, would I ever run the risk of a clipped recording if my rec level was always at a healthy figure, say 5? I am thinking not, as the rec level would be set high enough to have confidence in the resulting meter output dB levels.....

If the music is really loud I'd still go Line-in, with appropriate level adjustments. Mic-in at rec level 5 suggests you are recording something considerably quieter than a typical rock show--or you're using a much less sensitive mic than mine.

Hello.
Today I received my new Sony PCM M-10.
It is very good =) and Im happy. But AC is not 220v  its only 120V, so I need to buy separate AC.

I have a question. Because I didnt find it in manual.

Do Sony PCM M-10, with attached power, act as battery charging device or I need to use separate barrery charger?

As far as I know, the M10 does not charge batteries. You'll need a separate charger.

The good news is that regular alkalines run a long time.

I get around 20 hours with the backlight ON. I ALWAYS leave it on no matter if im outside in the sun or inside in a venue. 20 hours is just fine with me

LOWEPRO CASE 20

Not sure if this one has been mentioned, but it fits the M10 perfectly, and having the zippers on both sides allows for access to the inputs on top while keeping the M10 covered up.

It has a belt loop on the back.

If you live near a Dollarama store, they're selling them for $2 each right now.

I saw topic about compatible memory cards, but I want to know is there some situations when 32gb card did not recognized?

I want to buy 32gb class 10 UHS-1

UHS-1 is a new back-compatible standart.

look at digit "1" in "U" it means UHS-1. Does anyone tryed to use it withj Sony PCM M-10 ?

[Dave_Scream]

Another question is how auto rec level works? does it change record gain on the fly? so its like maximizer+limiter?  what release delay?

Another question about Sony PCM M-10.
It was shipped with AC power adapter but for US standart 110v. I have here 220v 50hz standart, so I cant use this AC adapter.

I buyed today universal 1,5-12v power adapter for 220v. But when I use multimeter It shows me that when 3v set up ~6v and when 1.5volts (minimal) setup - 4.4 v !!! this is chinese I think))  So im afraid to use it, because Sony M10 need 3v input.

Maybe somewho buyed some AC adapters and can use multimeter to know if 4.4v can kill Sony or it can work with 4.4v instead of 3v.

Maybe you'd be better off ordering this:

How cheap/effective are 220v>110v converters for you?
