Sony ECM-DS70P

Pros: Small size,doesn't need a battery,Excellent recording quality

Cons: Needs a Wind Screen 24/7, odd ball size won't fit standard microphone holders

The Bottom Line: If you have a Sony HI-MD recorder - this matches perfect. Otherwise a solid stereo microphone - I highly recommend

Review: I bought this stereo microphone to use on a Sony Hi-MD Mini Disc recorder. I work for a Broadcast Radio Station. I needed something, that would bring in the audio surroundings to the person interviewed, yet, not drown out the subject. At first with no ...

The Bottom Line: I would suggest to the manufacturers that they be more specific in their spec sheets concerning voltages, epecially where it concerns microphones. Not all of us are engineers.

Review: Why does Sony not SPECIFY what they mean by PLUG IN POWER CAPABILITY. To those of us in the recording industry, that typically means 48 volt phantom power. In NONE of the ads from various dealers, nor the official Sony site....do they explain what ...

Pros: Size, sensitivity, no battery required.

Cons: Can pick up mechanism noise.

Review: I use one of these with a hi-md minidisc. It is very sensitive and can pick up anything from voice to wind bands. Of course, it does not give great stereo separation and there are higher quality microphones available, but it is small and easy to carry ...
