Topic: Sony PCM-M10 (Part 4)

[F.O.Bean]

Does the m10 work w/ 32GB Cards I have been thinking of getting one to run a super low-pro setup w/ my MBHO>TFORMER LB, and after doing some research this looks like the way to go. Im still getting it confused w/ the d50 tho. This JUST has analog INS on an 1/8" Stereo jack, correct If so, I take it the ADC is pretty solid I dont have time to search thru 60 pages of pcm-m10 threads so if someone could give me the LOW DOWN I'd really appreciate it

TIA,
Bean

the m10 is analog 1/8 in ONLY
the d50 has optical in but the lb is analog only too
the m10 i know works with 16gb cards and also has 4gb built in
the battery life is crazzzzzzy and runs on 2 aa

Hi Bean!

Yes, the PCM-M10 works fine with this 32mb card, I'm currently using:

    Transcend 32 GB micro SDHC Class 2 Flash Memory Card with SD Adapter TS32GUSDHC2

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042AJYOC


The Class 2 cards are really S-L-O-W at transferring files to your PC, compared to the Class 6 cards, but half the price for any given size.

I have also tested this Class 6 card in the PCM-M10 (borrowed from my digital camera, temporarily).  It works fine, too:

     Transcend - Flash memory card ( microSDHC to SD adapter included ) - 16 GB - Class 6 - microSDHC

Here's an e-mail I received from Sony Customer Care, yesterday, in response to some questions I had asked about the PCM-M10. 

Dear Mr. Michael Davis,
 
Greetings!
 
We do apologize for the delay in our reply as we need to check with our counterpart.
 
Further, can you please confirm what type of DA converter is used inside the PCM-M10? Is it a mutlibit, R2R ladder DAC (like PCM1704) or delta-sigma design (like CS4382)?  

 -->    PCM-M10 is using "delta-sigma design" DA converter.
 
 
Can the Line Out from the DAC deliver 96-kHz 24-bit playback to an external amplifier or is plyaback limited to 48-kHz 24-bit?  

 -->    PCM-M10 does not convert 96kHz/24bit file.
         So, if you recorded with 96kHz/24bit, then Line Out will be  96kHz/24bit.
 
Thank you for the compliments. Comments were passed to engineers and designers.
 
Thank you and we will wait for your reply.

I wanted to know, with certainty, that the PCM-M10's DAC actually plays 96/24 files at 96/24.  I didn't doubt that the M10 can record at 96/24.

Thanks man!

[monkeyguy]

finally got to make my first recording with the M10.....so easy to use...so happy to changed from the iriver h320...

My record button is broken, i'm not really sure why. I can't press down on it anymore, is there anything I can do to get that fixed? Would I have to send it in?

[beatkilla]

You could use the remote to initiate record mode.Good luck!

FYI: NewEgg has a 8GB micro SD card for $9 shipped (after rebate). Might not be a bad idea to pick up a backup/extra card.

After 5 weeks with the batteries out, I'm now getting the "clock set" error 

[aaronji]

^^^ If you hit "STOP" twice when the "Set Clock" screen comes up, you will go straight to record mode (the first press kills the set clock message and brings up the screen where you can set the time; the second kills that screen and takes you to the one you'd normally see after start-up).  The files will be numbered Z0000001.wav, Z0000002.wav, etc.  When you turn the recorder off, and then back on, the next file will be Z0000003.wav (in other words, it will not over-write existing files).

This comes in handy if you don't have time to set the clock, or don't feel like it, and takes almost no time...

[Ozpeter]

I've just had the clock set error after a period of some weeks non-use, though the rechargeable batteries seemed ok.  No further occurrences in the last few days.

[hydrobud]

if you hit the T-Mark while recording does it continue to record or do i have to hit record again ? from what i understand it pauses when you hit it in playback.

[earmonger]

Track mark does not interrupt recording. It does stop playback.
