Hi Guy's

I was looking for a small recorder to take to my gig's and nearly bought a Zoom H1 but I purely by chance I came across this little recorder at Thomann's. I purchased it for the princely sum of 23.00 GBP I is manufactured by "Soundman", which I think is a German Company.

I have attached a photo and a my very first recording. as you can see from the picture it's not much bigger than a 9v battery. When I opened it I was shocked by just how small it was and to be honest I wasn't expecting much in the way of sound quality. It will record as MP3 up to 192 bps (The example is at 128 bps) or as WAV files.

Straight from the recorder, untouched, please excuse the voice I'm just recovering from a nasty cold this is the first time I have attempted singing for 10 day's.

Hi Donny

Can't quite believe the quality for the price and size, as my Dear old Mum used to say "Good stuff lies in little room" in this case I think she was right.

That's pretty amazing Colin. It certainly doesn't sound like a toy.

God Bless,
Don

Morning Don

I must admit I was surprised with the results, the only problem is the text is so small you need good eyes or strong spec's to read the menu's. Once you have found how to change the operating system text from German to English it does get easier LOL

I'll spend a bit more time with the settings and report back.

All the best

Col
