Would those solutions work for several days?=0D
=0D
The only solution I've come up with so far, other than a tent, is a portabl=
e shelter - a small collapsible crate mounted on a tripod, with a large pla=
stic lid placed over the top and covered with Lycra to hold it together. Bu=
t I'm not convinced of how waterproof it is, and it's a nuisance to carry a=
nd set up.=0D
=0D
I'd like to know how the mics on products like this are waterproofed:=0D

I just picked up the LS-7 at a very reasonable price. So far I am impressed=
with its timer and sound activation features, but I have not yet tested it=
outside.=0D
=0D
Does anyone know if there is a waterproof bag, like Aquapac etc, that is ac=
oustically transparent? Or other suggestions for a simple way to waterproof=
this little recorder so it can be left in the field for several days?=0D
=0D
Many thanks.=0D

I have a DM-670 which is the same thing with more memory and a speaking hel=
per;) ( which can be turned off )=0D
=0D
You are right, these DM-6** units are very similar to the LS-3/7. The menu =
system is identical except for the very few missing options.=0D
=0D
The internal mics are about the same but they are a bit 'boxed-in' in this =
incarnation. From memory, I actually think the preamp noise of the 670 is l=
ower than the LS3, which was a bit high for nature and may be why they drop=
ped it.=0D
=0D
The one thing that's NOT the same is that there is no tripod screw at the b=
ase or anywhere on it.=0D
=0D
The best bit is that there are a lot of used DM-6**s on ebay from ex studen=
ts who had them for uni and didn't use them hardly at all in the end becau=
se of very low hours face to face teaching :) I got mine in perfect condit=
ion for =C2=A330 shipped from a seller who hadn't used it but had lost the =
USB cable.=0D
=0D
I'd say "grab one", they are a real steal on the second hand market right n=
