anti Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 ive been looking at getting a new setup to record concerts however i do have a budget if people had $500-550 US to spend on a recording setup (mic, preamp, minidisc etc), what would be the ideal setup. i mostly record in very loud clubs so it would need to handle loud volumes. the other condition is that the price must be for a new item not 2nd hand. thanks for your feedback :smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 You should be able to squeak in just below $550 with a Sony NH800 Hi-MD recorder (around $250 at www.jandr.com), a set of basic or mid-grade binaurals and a pre-amp/battery box from Sound Professionals, Microphone Madness or the board's new contributor, Reactive Sounds. I get excellent recordings with just the SoundPro binaural mics, a Radio Shack Headphone Volume Control to limit the volume ($6.59) and my MD recorder. A pre-amp will give you more flexibility and fuller sound. Just make sure it's one that can limit the incoming signal as well as boost it, a pretty standard combination these days.
