Topic: What small recorder to run behind Schoeps CMR>Battery box rig

[NOLAfishwater]

I am in need of a small recorder that can be used behind a Schoeps CMR>battery box setup. It needs to have a good A/D and solid connectors. After doing some reading, I am considering the edirol R09HR, sony M10, and edirol R05. Someone please give me some direction. Thanks in advance for your help.

I think this picture speaks for itself. 

I posted in the other post as well but one thing i forgot to mention was the m10 has a 5 second pre-buffer. you just start recording and press play/pause when you want to start recording and it will capture the last five seconds.

I am very pleased with the function and quality of the A/D in the Sony M10. I can't compare to the other units listed here as I haven't used them, but I am a very happy M10 owner.

Louie is drinking the CMR coolaide, he will be #4(that we know of), whos going to drink the next glass

The PCM-M10 also has supreme battery life. Bring lots of AAs if you pick the Edirol.

Excuse my innocence, but what is the little box beneath the M10?  I mean, make and model, I'm aware of its function!

Naiant custom bbox.
Looks very sweet, if I only had the money to buy mics to match it:

That's less than I thought. I will re-visit this setup come tax refund time next year.

On topic:
Louie, I really like the M10 over the R09HR, which I owned.  M10 has a larger screen, I like the dial on the gain instead of the buttons on the HR along with the just overall build of the M10.  ADC is good and the connections solid.

Ah, I thought CMR was just the box alone so I didn't understand where the cable came from, thanks for the help

Having owned both, I prefer the M10.  If you already own an Edirol, it'll be fine, but for me the M10's much higher battery life, internal 4GB memory, and (at least anecdotally) better sounding ADC takes it for me.  Personally I'm pretty indifferent as to the layout of the two, but the M10s is certainly nice, and I like the "peak lights" for open taping as well.

What I want to know is where all this Kool-Aid was when jerryfreak was hyping the CMR xx months ago... Robb, you must have the magic touch

I found the PDF very instructive:

So these guys have been out since 2006?! I guess they didn't take off in the taper scene because there was no off-the-rack bbox>3.5mm solution until recently - is that right?

Probably because they where not designed for concert recording at all....Cool aide doesnt bring the 60 volt juice 

My vote is for the Sony M10..real nice deck.

m10 on bing via beach camera and others is $269.95
beach is 5.1% back dropping it to like $256.18

b+h is 2% back dropping it to like $268

Don't get the R-05 until it is fully tested by members here or, even better guysonic. There are reports that it won't accept as high a level as the R-09HR without distortion. The other 2 are great choices, but as previously pointed out, if you need long battery life the Sony is better.
