Sony PCM-D50 vs SD 702

["fdisynth" fdisynth]

you'll notice electronic white noise no matter what you record...

and water (sea is worst) is not easy to record with pleasant results...

My experience is that the less directional the better (Schoeps CCM5 in omni=
 mode is the best I have)


Anyway, just to tell about a system I use when I need to be ultra light or =
undercover but still get good quality results: I use two DPA 4060 (they are=
 20mV/Pa!) with their small power unit that has a 1/8'' stereo jack output =
connector (MPS6030) and record in the smallest and lightest recorder I have=
 (currently a Zoom H2) and monitor with Ultrasone headphones or small in-ea=
r headphones for undercover.

best,

Fernando
