How does setting the clock or not setting it inhibit starting a recording? Will it not let you record until you set it?

You can not record until you set it. In a situation where you are trying not to draw attention to what you are doing, this is less than ideal. I agree that you should turn it on before you get to your seat in this situation. I've had the same batteries for 10 months and they are still showing 3/4 full. Granted I've only used it a handfull of times, but battery life is definitely not an issue.

Hey all,

This thread is massive!

I know that the Line In on the M10 is much better than the Mic In after reading this post. What if I need to use TWO mics. I want to do some interviewing and while I know the Line In sounds great, what happens when I include two mics?

Any Suggestions?

Both line in and mic in are stereo. Place 1 mic with the interviewer and 1 with the interviewee and you'll get one person on the left channel and one on the right.

You could always mix the two channels in post if you want the final recording in "stereo" even though it would really be 2 channel mono.

what is the screen size on this as I would like to get an invisible shield for it

Thanks



The Lowepro Ridge 30 is a little bigger than the 20, which leaves room at the side for the remote plug and at the top for mic/line in.  The slot in the front flap--which I don't think the Tamrac case has--is perfect for the PCM-M10 remote. That's mostly what you're going to be using to control the recorder anyway.  It's easy to let it hang open a little and see the green/red lights near the top if you're worried about levels, and you can reach in and turn the knob.

As for the zipper, put a screen protector on the PCM-M10 even if you do use a different case. Why take chances?



Here it is, but it's kinda pricey for what it is. If anyone knows of a cheaper way, let me know!         http://www.amazon.com/Tamrac-5689-Compact-Digital-Black/dp/B001E3XLZS/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1292784653&sr=8-17

30 hours of battery life is common. I had this recorder with me in really humid and hot conditions (Malawi 2010, February) and recorded 30 hours of spoken word/reportage during 30 days (@ highest possible MP3 rate) with one set of alkalines on one memory card.
Just two things to remember:
1. 44khz mp3 won't sync with 48khz video in most cases (if video sync is of any concern).
2. and the internal microphones need to be wind protected or an external mic is used.

Add a Juicedlink microphone preamp (if 48v or XLR interface is needed) and you are golden - next step up will be the NAGRA LB.

I still miss the feel of the D50 however < the best compact recorder someone could ever have.

Just got mine in from J&R, $199 as well with shipping & taxes.  Next up: tax refund and some new fancy mikes and a preamp.  I think I'm gonna go with the dpa 4061's again.  I'll grab a sd card tomorrow, this threads are massive, so I'm sure I'm asking a redundant question: what are the best/compatible micro sd cards with this unit?  Otherwise, I plan on loading it up with mp3's to get a feel for the unit.

Oh: where can I get a sleek case and screen protector?

Thanks!  I was looking for a slimmer case, something like what the iriver's have where the buttons are still accessible.  I'll check out the Kingston cards, probably going to go for a 8 or 16GB card.

Yeah, that's good observation. The SD card is almost the size of the recorder. ;)

Yeah, I picked up two transcend 8gb class 6 micro sd cards for $16 a pop, free shipping. 

Next up: new mikes and a preamp to boot.  Most likely a pair of dpa's.
