    Best bird recorders for field recording

    Is not going to work. What you do is connecting the two input stages parallel, in practice this means that you get half the input resistance. It is very likely that you will loose signal from the mic because the mic sees a lower input resistance. With a Zoom F3 the input amplifiers are set to a...

    Jon.Bryant : "If anyone with better experience can correct the above info, or add their recommendations it would be good." I did visit the sites from Tentacle and Instamic. Both mono and both uses the mobile phone. Tentacle uses lavalier from any manufacturer, that's nice, but the mobile...

    Thanks for the link about power options and the link https://www.sounddevices.com/mixpre-3-mixpre-6-maxbatteryruntime for the Mixpre. The pdf with battery runtime is for the Mixpre mkI and the difference between mkI and mkII is huge, so not "presumably the Mix-Pre and later Mix-Pre II are no...

    You missed the point, you need a computer and a programme before you can do something with your sound. You can still overload your preamps, 32bit float does only say something about the AD converter.

    Best bird recorders for field recording

    That they don't give the right specifications. You can't calculate how much batteries you need. Powerbank nice, but useless if you go into the bush, trees don't have power outlets, solar power, forget it, tried that, but takes too long before your recharables are full. So you need to take the...

    Best bird recorders for field recording

    The trouble with 32bit float is that you need a computer with program to set things strait. And after that, what do you get? Sound Devices deleted the current drawn from the AA or the USB bus, but the latter does have limitations if it uses the standard for USB. Now why is that? Because its a...
