Olympus is introducing the new LS-11, which looks like a slightly updated version of the Olympus LS-10. The new model looks an awful lot like its predecessor, but it does have a few nice perks […]
Sony introduces PCM-M10 handheld pro audio recorder
Sony is expanding its line of professional quality digital audio recorders with the addition of the PCM-M10. This little guy will sell for about $399 and go head to head with similarly sized and priced recorders including the Marantz PMD620, Tascam DR-1, and Zoom H4n. The Sony PCM-M10 will be the cheapest flash-based recorder from […]
Samson introduces Zoom Q3 audio/video recorder
Samson has made a name for itself by releasing a series of low price, decent performance digital audio recorders including the Samson Zoom H2, H4, and H4n. These machines range in price from around $200 to $350 and they’re great for podcasters, good for musicians, usable, if not exactly perfect for pro audio users including […]
Quick links: How radio’s made, audio recording comparison,pubcasting in social media
I realized I haven’t updated the blog in a while, and that’s largely because I’ve moved to posting links like the ones you’re about to see to Twitter. But today I figured I’d do something out of the ordinary and highlight some excellent content from around the web here: Mediate’s Power Grid: This site ranks […]
The new office… so far
We’ve been living in the new house for about a week now, and things are coming along. Every day or two we find some new little disaster that needs dealing with. It turns out that the dishwasher is leaking, and the central air conditioning unit either needs fixing or replacing. But the washer and dryer […]
The new house
As if my life hadn’t been busy enough, Farrah and I decided to buy a house recently. So on top of blogging for managing the fast-growing Liliputing, blogging for Download Squad, and anchoring newscasts a few days a week at WHYY-FM, we’ve been doing all sorts of housy stuff. First there was the house hunting, […]
Liliputing turns 1
About a year ago I launched Liliputing , a news and information site covering netbooks and low cost ultraportable computers. I’d been interested in tiny computing devices for ages, ever since I picked up my first PDA back in 2000: A Phillips Nino 300 running an early version of Windows CE. And in 2007, I was […]
$100 off the Marantz PMD620 if you order by March 31st
It looks like Marantz is offering a $100 rebate on the PMD620 handheld digital audio recorder. BSW and Sweetwater are both showing the rebate on their product pages, which brings the price of the recorder down to $299 after rebate. But some sites, like DJDeals are selling the recorder for as low as $322 before […]
Zoom H4n review
The Zoom H4n digital audio recorder is Zoom’s third handheld flash memory recorder. It’s the most expensive of the bunch, but it also features the best build quality of the three and is much easier to use than its predecessors. The sound quality is also pretty good, although you can achieve higher quality recordings with […]
Zoom H4n external mic tests
The other day I posted audio recordings comparing the built in microphones on the Zoom H4n, Zoom H4, and Sony PCM-D50 digital audio recorders. Today I have some recordings made using two different external mics: an ElectroVoice RE50 dynamic mic and an AKG Perception 100 studio-style condensor. I didn’t have enough mics to make simultaneous […]
Farewell to NPR’s Day to Day
NPR’s Day to Day airs its final broadcast today. The program has been an NPR staple for the last 6 years, and while it was never carried by as many member stations as flagship programs like Morning Edition and All Things Considered, the program was always one of my favorite NPR shows. Day to Day […]
Testing the Zoom H4, H4n, and Sony PCM-D50 internal mics
I’ll have a detailed review of the Samson Zoom H4n recorder in the next week or so. But I can already tell you there are some things that Samson hit out of the park on their latest recorder, while there are a few things I wish were better thought out. For instance, the menu system […]
Zoom H4n unboxing
Good news, everyone! I finally got my hands on a Zoom H4n demo unit. I’ll be putting it through the paces over the next few days and I hope to determine how it stacks up against similar machines like the original Samson Zoom H4 and the somewhat more costly Sony PCM-D50. Keep in mind, my […]
Zoom H4n audio take 2 – second time not so charming
The Samson Zoom H4n is probably one of the more exciting digital audio recorders to come along in a while. Samson has taken the original Zoom H4 and completely retooled it with a better button layout, a new rubberized grip, a new mic layout and better preamps. But while reader Jon Skitch sent us some […]
