Title: Which replacement/successor for Zoom H2?
Post by: pehjott on October 08, 2022, 03:18:35 AM
So I wanted to upgrade my recorder for stealth recordings
I used my Zoom H2 with external mics for all those years and it got the job done but now it has a few issues

Is there any recorder which is better?

Would be great if its line in could also handle phono preamp levels so I could use it for vinyl digitalizing,the H2 recorded clipped signals,guess its line in could not handle the sound levels from the phono preamp's output

Any recommendations?

How about the Roland R07?
Does it handle loud levels better?

The Roland R07 only has mic in, not line-in.

The Sony PCM A10 has line-in.

And what makes this better than a Roland R07 ?

Could not find much Info on this unit,it also has a line/mic input
Bluetooth also seems to have problems

PCM A10 works like a dream. Bluetooth monitoring is so nice.
