Hi Frank, thank you for you help.
For me now, the question is if I should buy a preamp, OR sell the PMD 620
and, for example, invest in a PMD 661. I would be spending the same amount
of money.
What do you think??? and what portable flash field recorder do you recommen=
d
me for birding????
Thank you all,
Emiliano Depino.
