Re: [AUDITORY] audio/video recording
I have a selection of portable recorders. The Zoom H4n is good but get the newer models are much better as they have line as well as mic inputs. The H4n is mic level only so you need in-line pads if you are using a mixing desk and line level outputs.
I used the H6 and this was a great improvement. Would recommend the H6 any day.
For larger recordings I have a JoeCo 24 track HD recorder that is great. Good AD converters and rock solid.

It can also power up binaural mics if needed / or extend it with a small preamp for XLR inputs. It records PCM wav in a set of sample rates, and saves in both internal memory with expandability if needed (SD). I never had any issues with it.

>> I have recently used the Zoom Q8 recorder and I'm very happy with it! It allows to record both from a pair of on-board microphones (the standard ones are XY capacitors, but you can also buy other ones from Zoom), plus a pair of XLR, with phantom power, for connecting your own microphones.

>> Hello List,
>>
>> Can anyone please suggest high-quality portable equipment for recording digital audio and video at the same time? The equipment would be used to record sounds in a variety of situations (e.g., in a forest, in a cafe) and video would also be recorded at the same time to document what objects were producing the sounds.
