Here's a quick comparison of the rated power of the built-in speaker
in some popular field recorders.  These speakers were designed for
playback to someone sitting next to the machine, so their output is
low.   Only the Fostex FR-2 has a speaker that is an improvement on
the cassette tape machines commonly used for field recording.

Model...........................speaker rating

Fostex FR-2 hard disc.............1000mw

Sony TCM 5000EV cassette tape......700mW

Marantz 222 cassette tape..........500mw

HHB Portadisc minidisc.............250mw

Marantz PMD-670 compactflash.......100mw

consumer minidisc..............no speaker


Please use playback in a responsible manner, and obey regulations
prohibiting its use.
