print this articleBest digital recorder for reporters
A common question on new media listservs and within newsrooms centers on which digital audio recorder is the best one to buy (if you’re in the market). As with most purchasing decisions, the answer depends on how much you can afford to spend and, naturally, the more expensive options are generally better than the cheaper ones. That said, here is a list of my recommendations at different pricing levels. I only have experience with the Olympus and the M-Audio machines, but thought I’d find a couple mid-range options to include in the book.
Do you have a favorite? Or know of one to avoid? If so, or if you have any experience with any of these models please post a comment or {encode="mark.briggs@thenewstribune.com" title="send me a note"}.
$100 range: Olympus WS-100
$200 range: Diasonic DR-51128
$400 range: Edirol R-1
$500 range: M-Audio MicroTrack 24/96
