Digital camera reviews of Sony ECM-DS70P Electret Condenser Stereo Microphone

Digital camera Review: Excellent addition especially to Sony's icd-bx700/px720 recorders!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I've tried this mic with sony's icd-b300/b400 recorders and could not get happy as these lower level recorders produce noticeable amounts of hiss with and without this mic even in HQ mode. Also tried Olympus recorder VN-5000 with + without one of their own add on omni-directional mics and could not get happy with that either so sold them. Finally!! Bought a Sony icd-px720 recorder ($42 refurbished) which has SHQ + HQ modes and sounds really good BUT when adding this budget mic takes that recorder to a whole new level ading not only stereo sound but immensely more sensitivity then the built-in mic. So for those on a budget I recomend either the sony icd-bx700 or the slightly more expensive icd-px720 (adds usb port) with this mic which if buying refurbished like I did gives you a very nice system for around $50 total. With this mic and Sony recorder combo I'm recording live music in stereo which sounds surprisingly good especially for lower cost equipment and for lectures this mic is a big improvement too at least on the recorders mentioned.
Really glad I bought it!

Summary of Sony ECM-DS70P Electret Condenser Stereo Microphone

A high quality microphone for recording onto digital media such as: MiniDisc, DAT, & NT / Plug-In Power Operation
The ECM-DS70P microphone is the perfect companion to any digital recording device. If the built-in microphone you currently are using doesn't allow for the mobility or quality you demand, this stereo microphone is sure to meet your demands. With plug-in power there is no need for batteries or additional power cords. The microphone plugs directly into your recorder, minimizing possibly confusing cord requirements. The electret condenser microphone is uni-directional, meaning your recording will capture the full stereo sound of your selected subject. The gold-plated plug ensures a proper connection. The microphone is compact and lightweight (only 10 grams) and thus will travel nicely with your compact digital recorder. With the one meter mic cord and included clip, your recording process will be that much easier. The ECM-DS70P is recommended for digital recording devices like the MiniDisc, DAT and NT recorders.
