What Recorder to Buy?
Michael is looking at different portable audio recorders. Is there much of a difference between the Roland R-05, the Zoom H4n and the Zoom H5.
The Roland has a link and mic in (but not XLR). The H4n has two XLR inputs, and a line/mic in. The H5 has everything that the H4 has AND it has the ability to change the built in microphone. Speaking of those, they all have condensor microphones which can be used to record things on the road. If you are looking for the ability to record anything then the H4 and H5 are great choices. The H5 gives the ability to swap microphones and the ability to adjust levels is a little easier.
The H4 and H5 allow you to add "markers" which make it easy to find spots in the recording which may decrease your editing time.
It does seem weird that both models are the same price. I know at Same Day Music the H4 is $199. Also keep in mind that Same Day Music does not charge Sales tax (unless you in New Jersey). They also provide the ability to pay for your product in two installments ints
