Guest Anonymous Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 hiya folks, i bought a used MZR70 and it is just fine for listening to MD's in the car and on the go, but i need a unit that is good for recording my band. the only thing i want from this recorder is the ability to record loud bands in concert occasionally, and for weekly use at my band's rehearsals. we play rather loud and i don't want it to distort. (my mzr70 sounds great for soft live music but has terrible digital distortion when we play at high volumes.) please help! thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 To record loud sounds you will need a battery module if you are using most sony md walkmans and a majority of the microphones designed for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimistic-pessimist Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 The previous post was right, just a little too succinct for my taste. I've spent a lot of time shopping for a decent live rig for not too much money. The MD unit you are using shouldn't matter too much...it's the mics that make the difference. Like the previous post says, you need to use a battery box with a bass rolloff filter to power a set of sensitive mics. Plug this setup into the line-in, rather than the mic input for a cleaner recording. If you need a set of good mics for not too much check out the binaurals at www.core-sound.com.

optimistic-pessimist Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 Sorry, I forgot to mention that www.soundprofessionals.com offer several different types of bass roll-off boxes with filters that will allow you to select the level of the filter. Core-sound offers one with it's mics as well, but it doesn't allow you to select the level of the filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
