I'm no expert. It just seems to me that a quick check of what we're recording by any means will help point out problems with mic position and levels while there is still time to make corrections.

That thing is TINY :) ;D I will definitely grab one of these after I pay off my NBob KCY ;) I can FINALLY have some control over each channel since my vms02ib just has ONE gain knob 8) ;D And I already have the perfect bag for it ;)

Now I cant wait to hear this thing in action ;D If it's ADC is anywhere as good as the m10s is, then I will be a very happy tapir lol ;) ;D 8) I'd really like to hear some Schoeps>Preamp>70D, so that I can get a feel for what it sounds like! And my buddy, Jon Merin, is supposed to buy a 70D tomorrow, so soon enough I'll hear some Schoeps>Lemosax/TinyBox>70D sources :) ;D 8)I'll ask Jon Merin to run mk4/mk41>KCY>Lemosax>70D + Lemosax>M10, so that we have a real time comp against the m10 vs. the 70D. Now THAT is a comp I can't wait to hear ;)

Deck has been ordered. I will run some comps this weekend if I get to a show.




Umm, hell yeah lol ;D 8) Like we talked about in our texts, I am DYING to hear the m10 vs. the 70D ADC!!! If you can run TinyBox>70D + Tinybox>M10, if your TB has [2] outputs ;) If it DOESN'T have [2] outputs, then I'd like to see you run Lemosax>70D + Lemosax>M10, so that we can hear exactly what the 70D's ADC sounds like, since we already know what the M10s ADC sounds like ;) That would surely put it to rest. And since I know your Lemosax has [2] outputs, then it should be very easy to do ;) 8)

Thanks buddy!
To really test the built-in preamp quality, I'd be interested in hearing Mics>FP24>70D vs. Mics>70D on something quiet and needing a fair amount of gain.  I'd imagine the 70D's pres will be noisier, but by how much is the question.  Basically I'm wondering if the 70D does a better job of a one-box preamp and recorder solution than the Zoom line.  I'm not expecting it to replace a SD 788 or Nagra VI here...

Has the Zoom line recently grabbed some sort of new attention?  I had always heard they were pretty crappy recorders with subpar pres.  Of course,  I have no personal experience to back that up but I recall lots of chatter about that.  ???

I recently used a cheapo set of earbuds to adjust my levels, and the results were good.   Unlike headphones, they tend to have pretty good isolation and don't stand out. 

 I have seen the Shure SE215 earbuds recommended because of their clarity and isolation.  Adorama has them on sale for $89.  However, I went cheap and ordered a set of Vsonic's from Lendmeurears.com for something like $30.  Not here yet to report on.  They were also on sale. 

We carry everything else.  What more is it to carry a good set of earbuds?  Seriously.  Try it. 

I can't preach enough about decent earbuds. I keep them in a small baggie and rarely use them at the shows, but its just nice having them in case I do need them. And they fit in a 2" x 3" baggie perfectly. Sure as hell beats lugging big headphones around too ;)

Yea, I want to hear the 70D anyway I can, whether its the preamps or the ADC. But I will NEVER use its preamps, just mainly interested in how its ADC sounds compared to the m10. Because most of us run mics>preamp>recorder. If I wanted an all-in-one, I don't think Id be comfortable using the 70D just yet. Its too new, and I don't like being a guinea pig lol ;) But I don't care what it costs, as long as it sounds fn killer ;D 8)

Scrolling through, there's a 10,000mah Ravpower 5v dual outlet battery for $19.99 including shipping.  Should work and not a bad deal.  White case.

Ok - got mine!

Like, but quick question...

Wondering if I got a returned unit... :-\

Did you guys have a clear packing cover strip/shield on the screen...?

Mine did not - and Im suspicious, I think I see a few flakes glitter on the bottom!!!

Ordered from B&H...

Other than that...so far so good.

I don't believe mine had a cover over the screen either.  I'm not worried

Anyone know how the TASCAM devices handle an unbalanced signal on a TS 1/4 inch input?

The connector is spec'ed as "XLR/TRS" on the DR-70D

I'd probably prefer to use a short set of RCA>1/4 angle TS - over the 1/8 stereo for getting RCA board feeds.
