Guest Anonymous Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 Hallo, i am in Germany and i search for a portable MD-Recorder with digital Output (optical and/or coax). I will record Live-Music (Akkordeon) over Stereo-Mics (with Preamp). After this i will transfer the Music to my Soundcard (digital-In), so that i can edit the Music. can anyone help me ? which MD-Device should i buy ?

me Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 There's only one 'portable' MD recorder with digital out, it's made by Marantz and costs about US$1500. Which is far more than a deck and a portable recorder would cost.. So, you have the choice of that (it's huge) or a portable recorder to record the sounds, and a deck to transfer via the optical (or coax. depending on what deck you get) line out. As you are recording via a preamp, you can get any portable recorder. You'll be using a line in, right? Some good, cheap recorders are sharps MT180, 190, and Sony's MZ-N505, MZ-N707. A good deck with optical out is the Sony MDS-JE780, or a Sony MDS-JB980 (it has coax. and optical out). Hope that helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Thanks for your answer ! i have a low budget, so i can´t buy a portable and a deck together. I will try to buy a Sony 505 or 707. Is the Mic-In from 707 mono or stereo ? If there is no stereo mic-in on 707, so i will buy a 505 and record my music with a preamp. Is this possible ? What type of Stereo-Preamp and Mic should i buy ? And here is the last question: Is the Line-Out Signalquality good enough to record this on my PC ? Thanks for your Answers and a Good New Year !

me Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 The N707s microphone amp is stereo, however if you have a preamp, use that instead, it should be better quality. I can't give you a recommendation on what preamp to buy, as I don't know of any :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leland Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 Get the N707 over the 505 if you want to record from a mic. No question. Yes, the line-out quality is high enough to record into your PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 Thanks for your answers ! I read about the Sharp MD-MT200 the following at minidisco.com: "Have you been waiting for a new low-cost portable for live recording? We have, and now it's here! The Sharp MD-MT200 has the features that make Sharp MD units the best for live recording...at a great low price! Recording level and microphone sensitivity can be adjusted on the fly, and the motor is VERY quiet, even with a highly sensitive mic plugged directly into the unit. This baby gets bonus points for Dolby type H DSP spatial enhancement and 4 bass level settings. Get 'em while they last, this is a whole lot of recorder for so little money! " Now I am not so shure what Device i should buy, Sony MZ-N707 or Sharp MD-MT200 ? Any Recommendations ? (The NetMD Feature is not so important for me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 NetMD isn't important? Grab that MT200!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
