.. that I do not understand: the demand should be there. Or is it a domain for Tascam and SoundDevices?
Sony TCD-10? But it's a DAT
http://www.datrecorders.co.uk/tcdd10.php http://www.thevintageknob.org/SONY/sonyvault/TCDD10PROII/TCDD10PROII.htmlAnyways.. back to this century...
Beats me.. Sony sells that XLR-to-minijack adapter box with PCM-D50 for 500 USD$ (!!) .. Think they want to sell cameras more as recording device with their crappy 16bit audio with after-thought audio chain including crappy audio inputs (even though these are XLR .. the pres are horrible) [I've owned & operated Sony's XDCAMs]
Current portable recorder brands w/ other than pure minijack inputs: Aaton (Cantar), Sonosax (SX-R2, SX62R, Mini R82*), AETA, Zaxcom (Deva,Fusion,Nomad,MAXX), Nagra, SD (7xx/t, 552, 664), Fostex (FR+PD), Marantz, Edirol/Roland (R4-PRO,R44,R88), Zoom (H4N**), Tascam .. by no means should not mix apples and oranges but just listing em all..
* not XLR but mini 7pin
** would not rate the XLR for zoom as proper input as it doesn't take line
... and nothing beats swiss made!
Did I miss any current brands?
Wonder if Korg is continuing MR-1000 with next version.. 1bit is a gimmic but wonder if was making them $$$ vs MR-2 etc.
