Good day everyone!
I just got my membership authenticated today and wanted to share my thoughts about the Sony PCM-M10 that I purchased a couple of days ago.
I bought this unit for a combination of live sound recording as well as digitizing my vinyl collection of things that I do not own in digital format already.
In the late 90's I used to do similar types of things with a portable Sony DAT machine, and this new unit seems to blow it away.
First impressions are this thing is dynamite in a small package.
The first thing I used it for was doing needle drops on some vinyl that needed to be digitized, recorded via the Line In from my Phono Preamp in 24bit/96k.
Sounds great, but maybe a tad bit sizzly on the top end. I have been trying to keep the recording level down to where it peaks at -12db. Does this sound correct?
Regarding live sound recording, I have been reading here that a great pairing for this unit is the church-audio stuff.
I plan on getting some CA-14 cards at some point, and probably a battery box or preamp from them as well.
Anyways, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this little product.
