We wanted to record in the community teaching live and in conjunction with an external Lavaliermicrofon EDUTIGE Lavalier Microphone ETM-006 works really well. The built-Micros suitable for voice or conference recordings only very limited, too many noises. The external Micro can indeed be positioned very close to the mouth and so the recordings fold almost perfectly for the money. We use a manual modulation, the automatic function was good for not for this purpose. The Tascam convinces with very easy operation and robust design, is also conveniently small. In a carry case put this hardly interferes when the speaker or teacher thus records his lessons.
