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:

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.
