Topic: Zoom H2 internal vs Tascam DR-07+CA Battery Box+CA11-14 cardioids

[jagraham]

Tascam DR07 / CA-9000 / CA-11

good choice on this.  ive used this rig many times, its pretty good.  i now use the DR-05 with the 9000 and CA-14s, omnis and cards depending on the situation.  i prefer the 14s but this is still a fine setup for amplified music.  mic placement is key and thats not easy with internals of any sort.  ive actually done a couple passable recordings with the DR07 internals but never would have if i would have had mics to use.

Sell all of your audio gear and buy a CA-14>CA Battery Box/Preamp>Sony M10

[F.O.Bean]

You will notice a HUGE IMPROVEMENT IMMEDIATELY, trust me/us I would try the CA11>9100 asap and let us know what you think of that combo. If you end up liking recording with mics/BB/Preamp/etc. then go and buy the CA14 Omnis AND Cards That way you would be covered wherever youre recording from and at around $100.00/Pair for Cards and omnis, and around $100.00 for the Battery Box/Preamp and I would use the Tascam DR-05 over the Zoom. Zoom are just known for cheap/shitty quality, and their handheld recorders are no exception IMO. I would much rather trust a Tascam unit and some Church Audio gear

Do you think it's much better than first samples with Zoom H2 internals?

Maybe better BB with CA-14 upgrade?
