Regarding the Naiant X-X with XLR - to use them you would require something=
like a Juicedlink or Beachtech. Both units provide phantom power to XLR mi=
cs, and allow you to connect to a 3.5mm microphone socket.
The trouble is they are bulky - larger than the PCM-M10 - and may be imprac=
tical for impromptu recordings.
As for the M10, I recently purchased one myself and it is a superb device. =
It has an extremely low noise pre-amps and recordings are very pleasant sou=
nding compared with the Zoom H2.
