The H2 looks much more robust when painted black!
You may be on to a good thing here. Have you done this?!?
I'm also thinking somebody good at masking/spraying might easily try this and post a few views
Side panels would need new white-on-black
durable laminated function labels as now silver background black lettering would disappear. Any BROTHER PC-connected similar label printer should make short work of this.
I could offer the label program file like done for the MT1 VU dB, or just mail a
few already printed by SASE requests.
KRYLON BRAND has very good spray product for indoor/outdoor plastic called FUSION FOR PLASTIC. I've used on my mic WHB/N windscreen headband accessory. No spraying the deck's windscreen I think to preserve internal mic reception. This might be dappled instead with flat or satin finish?
My favorite
was the 'black textured' for looking very cool with a great non-slip grip, but got
one back from 3 years intense
all-day soundwalks for service with
paint melting from hair oils !!!
So I stopped using this for sometime, but think not much an issue for painting small handheld deck?
So... for the noobs that dont understand all those graphs .... is this any better than the R09?
While the 620 seems similar to R09, and for me harder to learn than R09, direct comparison of noise spectrum performance might need new graphic to clearly see details. And as with most decks being nearly equal, the better noise performance is
sometimes variable between the decks depending on recording input mode being used. With LINE input mode using external preamp, these two look nearly identical.
And then there's the build quality, with Marantz 620 being made in Japan, and not China like most these days.
