Hello
I just bough a pair of Rode NT1-A microphones. Now I need a recorder and preamplifier for them. Use is field recording, many things like nature, vehicles, whatever. As we know, those Rodes are extremely quiet (self noise 5dB), and in field there are sometimes very quiet sounds, so I need a quiet preamp too. What recorder fits for me? I have been thinking of Fostex FR2-LE, it seems very good. Low noise level is the most important thing, of course I also need two Phantom-powered XLR inputs for mics (more is better for surround experiments, but two is fine too) and practicality is also a nice feature. Budget is 500€, I think it's about 650$. Is the Fostex best for me or is there some better?
Sorry if there're many threads like this, I'm not very familiar with these English-language forums, so my ability to use search is limited. If you can find threads that consider this same subject, I will be very grateful.
Thank you!
