We have two types of digital audio recorders: Roland Edirol R-05 'Wav Recorder' or the Zoom H4N recorder that we circulate to everyone in the Hampshire Community. They are similar recorders in value and features, but the Roland tends to have a simpler menu structure and is easier to quickly understand, while the Zoom accepts XLR inputs and is geared toward more advanced operators.
Roland Edirol Wav Recorder R-05 is our basic audio recorder that features onboard stereo condenser mics, intuitive menus, and simple operation that any community member can borrow.
These items are part of every WAV Recorder R-05 kit:
1 R-05 Recorder
1 x 2 - 8 GB SD card
2 AA rechargeable batteries (that we charge between every circulation)
Tascam DR-10L Lav Recorder is single lavalier microphone and audio recorder unit that features intuitive menus, and simple operation that any community member can borrow. It is perfect for recording interviews and clear dialogue.
These items are part of every Tascam Lav Recorder kit:
1 x Tascam DR-10L Recorder
1 x Lavalier mic, clip and windscreen (usually all attached to unit and ready to go)
1 x 32 GB microSD card
1 x AAA battery
1 x carrying bag
1x micro USB to USB2-male cable (separately barcoded - if this is not in kit, please ask for one!)
