If I could ask for a single improvement to Neuros, the addition of a mic. preamp would be it.
Carrying around a separate preamp is not always the best solution. Sometimes, stealth and simplicity override sound quality. Having to worry about two separate batteries dying is a pain. Having to deal with the additional bulk is a pain.
All I want is a high quality mic. input with amplification and plug in power like the ones on sharp minidisc units. |

That's customer care! Church, if I should ever need a mic and I'm around Canada, you will have one customer more!

Hi,
I too vote for a mic input! I am checking out the Neuros, Archos, iRiver, etc. for use in recording meetings, using a mic preamp/mixer (such as from Rolls.com or maybe Church Audio). With a 20GB or more HDD I'll never have to worry about changing tapes or MDs, and I can just dump everything to my computer & edit into CD-length segments, and burn all I want. Oh a setup like this would have saved me so many hours over the years!!!
A few questions as I have never used a Neuros:
- Does it record from the line-in with automatic volume control or a fixed volume level? In other words, will the Neuros hike up the gain in quiet moments? Is this adjustable?
- Any way to tell if I'm overmodulating? Will listening to the headphones while recording give me an idea of the recorded quality/overmodulation, etc.
- What's the real world battery life for recording in both MP3 and WAV modes, from your experience? What warning will it give before the battery runs out?
- Also, for this sort of usage, which of the HDD voice-capable recorders is best, worst, easiest, etc? Neuros? Archos? iRiver, Any others? Is any one easier to use, quicker to setup for recording, more reliable, better quality?
Your thoughts and experience are greatly appreciated!!! |

Been away from the forum a bit - I see that Neuros II has been discontinued.
Looks like the III will have a mic input - is this correct?
Can't wait... ;-)

Looks like my next decision for what I want will be between the N3 and the gizmo in the following link.

The NII was great for the time, but now recording is a huge part that so many seem to be missing out on, and it looks like N3 has great possibalities, that M-Audio thing has it down pat. |

I was doing a little research on portable recorders / players, and I like the idea of the N3 having a built-in mic preamp. But, will be also usable as a line-in input?
I mean, if I have the ability to hook up to a soundboard monitor, will I be able to interface directly to the Neuros 3?
Thanks, Wolfgan. |
