1kyle Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Hi everybodyI just LOVE the new RH1 -- I've pre-ordered 2 of these (Greedy G*T* that I am). Should get them in my grubby mits by Early May.The guy who took my order said he'd NEVER known such a demand for MD gear so perhaps SONY have done something right for once.I suspect once these trickle on to the market there will be a real shortage of them..Not too worried about the battery and no external battery -- I've got enough of these batteries from older models.Proper LINE OUT too that's GREAT.I'm in 7th heaven just now with the final REAL announcement of this unit.It's going to be a REAL WINNER for sure.Cheers-K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time I am able to get one there will probably be none left! Anyway I hope that My MZ-NH1 will carry me over until I can get one! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauljones52 Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Lol why only two kyle?! Judging by how many people are reading the RH1 anouncement, we may see a 4th gen HIMD! (mabye im just riding high on a wave of MD eurphoria at the moment, and i will realise that was a silly comment when i wake up tomorrow ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDGB2 Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Two of them? Yer must do a lot of live recording work! I am tempted by the RH1, but I think I will stick with my NH700 and my NH600 until (IF?) the decks emerge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1kyle Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Two of them? Yer must do a lot of live recording work! I am tempted by the RH1, but I think I will stick with my NH700 and my NH600 until (IF?) the decks emerge... I give some photography courses as well so it's very useful to have recordings of students questions etc so I can research and answer stuff later. Running your own business means you get VAT back and the cost of the gear can be deducted from taxes so it won't be too expensive for me,Also on a shoot it's very handy to take "Vocal notes" such as any probs with the gig, gear or other comments.I do quite a bit of recording also out in the field on PJ assignments so a portable recorder is also useful here as well.The RH1 combines the best of the NH1 with the RH10. I like the black one even if I have to source it from Japan. I'll be in Hong Kong later so I'm sure I'll be able to source a black one even if my "pre-order" can't find one. I'm in for 1 silver and 1 black one.The RH10 to me seems better suited to portable listening rather than a real fully featured recording device and I'll use it for that purpose now wheras the R1 seems designed as a RECORDER from the outset..I love the recording levels on the side (from the pics). The remote looks very similar to that with the old RZ90.Cheers-K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streaml1ne Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Where did you pre-order from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1kyle Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Where did you pre-order from?Have a few friends in "The Trade". My pre-order is from "Gultronics" in London's Tottenham Court Road --almost as good as parts of Hong Kong for electronics and other gizmos (Not as cheap however).Unlike a lot of other places in the UK "haggling the price" on this street is The Norm --more like a middle eastern kasbah than a london shopping street.Cheers-K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
