Fernando,
Looking at the noise figures on the Avisoft site, your H4n is adding about =
Message: 4.
Subject: 8 dB of preamp noise to the noise of the BP4025 microphone. The LS-100
(v=
ia XLR inputs) would only add about 0.2 dB and the FR-2LE only about 0.1 dB=
. In theory, any recorder with an EIN lower than about -117 dBu will add le=
ss than 1 dB of noise to that microphone's noise. There are several recorde=
rs with XLR inputs for US$600 or less that fit that requirement including
-- Tascam DR-100mkII ($329) -119 dBu
-- Roland R-26 ($500) -124 dBu
-- Olympus LS-100 ($399) -125 dBu
-- Marantz PMD661 ($600) -125 dBu
-- Fostex FR-2LE ($600) -129 dBu
For $600 or less, the Fostex has the quietest preamps.
