Nightdiverphil Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Hello Everybody, I'm looking for a Sony MD recorder for a friend that records her college lectures. There's so much information on the internet that it's confusing! The features that I want for her are the SONY brand, and ideally, an included microphone. Also a recharger. If the best way were to be to buy a separate microphone, then If you would kindly direct me then I would, of course, appreciate that as well. Currently she is using one of my 4 recorders ( a SONY 900) but since I only have one recharger it's kind of a pain for her to periodically bring it to work for a charge-up. Since all my MD's are gifts from another friend, I can't just give it to her. So I'm looking for the MD recorder that will do the job for her. Any assistance will be most welcome - Thank you all in advance. Sincerely, phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 To upload the lectures to a computer, get MZ-RH910, the cheapest easily available Hi-MD. Like this, charger included: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller...list&sku=376664(You might want to get a higher-capacity rechargeable battery, NH14WM, to swap back and forth.) You'll need a mic for that, as with any new portable MD. Lectures should come through fine with this:http://cgi.ebay.com/MINI-HI-FI-MICROPHONE-...1QQcmdZViewItemthough it's probably mono and might also pick up the whir of the machine. Look at www.soundprofessionals.com for affordable mics. Just remember that if you get one of those T-shaped mics that plugs into the jack and sits on the machine, it's going to pick up machine noise--a mic on a cord is better. Don't care about uploading? Get a used MD on eBay. MZ-R700 and MZ-N707 both take regular AA batteries, no charger needed. You're familiar with MZ-R900. Make sure the picture is clear and it's not worn-looking--look for wear around the buttons and click wheel. And check the feedback, of course.
