My sony MZ-R37 just broke and I was planning on recording a Social D concert next week. I have low cost core sound mics with low senstivity. Is there a good MD recorder that would fit with my mics? I want to avoid buying a battery box. I really want a stealth recorder, as small as possible. I have to sneak into the club. Any help would be great!

Thanks a lot,

Doug

If your mics are already low sensitivity you may be able to get away with one of the older Sony MDs that doesn't have a low-sens setting: MZ-N707 (NetMD) or MZ-R700 (MDLP, but not NetMD), both of which have been workhorses for me. If you're used to getting the R37 into shows, those will be a breeze--they're considerably smaller.

Sony's MZ-R900 and the 900s in the N series do have a sensitivity control, but I don't like the gumstick batteries--give me AAs any time.

I'm not familiar with Sharp models, but there should also be a lot of those to choose from.
