Hello all, first post. I was planning to buy a recorder in the $200 range like the H2N, Roland R-05, or Tascam DR-40, but I've listened to many recordings taken from the internal mics on recorders like the Zoom H1 and the Tascam DR-05, and I'm not satisfied with the results. After doing some reading here, I've decided to go with a pair of Church Audio microphones and a battery box instead of using the internal mics on the personal recorder I have yet to purchase. So, I'd like some suggestions on what recorder would suit my needs and would work well with a pair of CA14s or CA11s. I will be doing mainly stereo recordings of amplified instruments in small venues -- rock, funk, electronic fusion, and live EDM. I'd like 24-bit/96kHz recording, decent battery life, and under $200. I'm not opposed to something in the $100 or $150 range since I will need to make an additional investment for the microphones, but I'd like one that I can use the internal mics on as a backup and still be able to make good recordings. Suggestions?
Thanks
