I once had an M10 that had been dropped in such a way that it broke the inp=
ut pad switch and seemed at the same time to render one channel attenuated =
and the other non-attenuated.
They=92re good units, but fragile. Given that M10s are not made anymore and=
there=92s no suitable replacement in its price range, I would think it cou=
ld be well worth it to pay at least the price of a new unit to get one repa=
ired!

>> Hello!

>> I've got two Sony PCM M10's which I primarily use for connecting a pair =
of omnis into the mic in. From time to time I'd like to use the build in mi=
crophones, but there seems to be a balancing problem: one side is considera=
bly quiter than the other, about 3dB on one of them, more than 12 on the ot=
her.
>>
>> Rebalancing the levels afterwards does not always produce a balanced res=
ult - the imbalance seems to be frequency dependent, so always applying the=
same amount of gain (measured with a central mono source under controlled =
condition) does not produce equivalent results under real world conditions.
>>
>> Is this a common problem with the units? I'd like to understand what's c=
ausing the behaviour, as the external mics don't have that problem.
>> I understand that there is a multitude of possible reasons but maybe som=
eone can share similar experiences?
