Hi,
no - it doesn't make any difference it seems. I've been doing some research on
this issue actually & whilst most hand held's will have the same kind of issue
- all be it at a low level, it would seem that this noise from the displays
enters the signal not via the mics - by that I mean that you'd get it even if
you had no mics plugged in or turned on. I assume its related to the fact that
these are all small units with the electronics close to each other & without
costly isolation / shielding.
With this particular issue in mind perhaps folks could carry out a simple test:
plug in some external mics anyway, whack the gain & sensitivity as high as poss
without feedback & record for 30 seconds. (high gain etc only to make it
easier to hear this low level electronic debris) & then report back.
so far it appears to happen on (inc non-hand held recorders):
Roland R-26
Roland R-44
Tascam DR-660
but not on:
Korg MR2
Sound Devices 7 series recorders (of course)
ta,
