Because I obtain it in ソニスタ on 16th and used it on the weekend, I review it.
In addition, I used R1 and H2 till I obtained D50.
The accessories purchased only a carrying case.
* A built-in microphone
In the range that built-in Mike did not use a lump very much, but tested a little.
There is a position stopping in the zero degree that the position of the microphone turn to the front besides 90 degrees and 120 degrees and did in parallelism click.
LR seems to be decided whether I can turn outward and can install whether I can turn inward than this in the free direction.
The sound quality of the built-in microphone seems to reflect a frequency characteristic, and it seems to be the sound that is very slightly clear by high level breaking out intensively in one spot.
When I used it with AT822 in the same condition, AT822 is richer in the low stock price in the middle of a day level, and resolution is an impression that having it built-in is better.
I think whether there are few noises, and both are excellence for sound quality in a favorite range.
* An outside microphone
I taped the exercise of the full pail with AT822.
A low level, growth of the high level were well clear in comparison with H2+AT822 and became dynamic.
The sound that it is a very clear sound, but the line is slightly narrow(Is not the thickness of the intermediate tone enough?) It is an impression.
But I think that it may be said that it is high sound quality in comparison with R1 and H2 overwhelmingly.
* Operation
Buttons are usable intuitively intelligibly.
Because there are A, a B repeat button at the position where it is easy to touch during reproduction, I push it by mistake.
Because I react when I close the cap with a case in particular, it is necessary to do it and is good if I keep on draining it by in trains, but is slightly inconvenient for hold when I operate forwarding frequently.
* Reproduction sound quality
It is worthwhile that I am proud of the headphones output and thinks that I am very good.
DAP uses A808, but listens by the sound that is better than lossless of A808.
The reproduction of mp3 is good, too.
I am too big to carry it as DAP, but am very good for a monitor after the recording.
Because lineOut is good, I may be usable as the reproduction machine of 96khz24bit data.
* An external memory
This is the only dissatisfaction.
The correspondence media becomes only HG of MS PRO DUO or hiSpeed.
I predicted it when I might work even if I met out of support and used UltraII(4G) of SanDisc.
As a result, I record it without a problem really and can play it.
But it is troublesome that a message called UNNOWN MEMORY is displayed whenever I switch it on.
If I ignore it and operate it, I am usable, but want you to revise the unnecessary message not to start it in a farm.
Perhaps will not the practical use top be all right in normal Pro Duo either?
I do not measure it about the data transmission, but the which read and wrote MS with an extra card reader seems to be fast than I use the MS via main body memory or the main body by USB.
* A tripod
I do not use many tripods by how to handle me, but even cheap mini-tripods of the digital camera use are enough.
But it is necessary to take off a carrying case when I use the tripod.
* Others
Though odd size of R1 which I used for two years is unpleasant and purchased small H2, I am bigger and get heavy and did it, but am satisfied with feel of a material and a design.
As for the weight, the main body which pulled a battery is considerably light, but four battery duty considerably works.
