zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: The Sony PCM M10 recorder is the best value in a portable recorder out there. I record 24 bit .WAV files at both 48k and 96k. The conversion is flawless. I also use the onboard mic pres with my own electret condenser mics. The pres are very quiet and the PIP power is clean and perfect for my mics. I can't say enough about what a huge value this is for a really professional quality recorder. Feature: Even the batteries (which last forever) are included. Nothing lacking here. Ease of Use: Easy menu structure. Just some poking around even without the manual was enough to learn everything here. Quality: Perfect. Value: Can't beat the value here. The sound quality and features blow away the zooms and others. I needed quality, quiet mic pres and this has them. The zooms are hugely hissy in comparison. The Wow Factor: This recorder is tiny, yet easy to use. Not much larger than a small smart phone.

Back to Product Information
Sound: I use this cool 'lil gadget to record my Pastor's sermons.. It's hooked up between the mixer and the Sony's 1/8" line input which is on the top of the unit between its corner-mounted mics. It's wonderful as you can adjust the signal manually with a knob off to the right side of the unit, making sure that it's within range indicated on the screen. Of course, you can also attach a pair of headphones off to the left side of the unit to get a more 'live' feel for that mic adjustment. I love the wired 'remote' to record: decent, useable length. I love experimenting with this thing.. may sound overkill but I like to record at 96kHz & 24 bit. A 45 min recording pumps out ROUGHLY 1.5 GB of data.. but I think the result is lifelike! Why not use the capabilities at hand, huh? I wish I could email out that file! But alas, I use the enclosed Sound Forge Audio Studio software to crunch out some very respectable MP3s which are then distributed via email. Those huge files crunch out to ROUGHLY 10 MB. Last night a concert pianist visited and played on our 9 foot baby grand piano [I think that's what he called it.] I asked him if I could record his playing - cool experiment. Had the unit on manual w/it set at "2". I just rested the unit on the podium with its mics aiming toward the end of the piano which was about 3-4 feet away. Couldn't move either one. Again, just using what was available..[no tripod avail] The results weren't bad I must say. OK, so he really got that piano to pump out some volume that I rarely hear from it! Boy it was loud! Darn, I wish I could've had more time to 'calibrate' the unit.. I would've set it to "1" or even "0". There was no way to monitor stuff during playing. Like I said, I didn't have the time, just a guess-timate and get off stage.. very little clipping despite.. In an hour's concert, maybe clipped like 4 times - briefly.. Anyhow, decent results despite my naivety with this gadget. MY FAULT, not the unit's! OVERALL, I'D BUY THIS UNIT ALL OVER AGAIN - ONE FOR MYSELF AND ANOTHER ONE FOR THE CHURCH! To "experiment" with, I'd like to have $2K to pick up that Sony D-1. Bet that's a lil monster! his little brother, though, this guy, ain't a lil punk! Go get one! They're fun!
