I like to record from my portable PA (JBL EON210P) w/ RCA & 1/4" output. Is this a good recorder or is there other better options?

It comes with an input, and it has EQ and effects. you could also record directly from your PA using an instrument cable. It is a great recorder for demos, especially for the price.

I use the RCA to stereo 1/8 inch adapter. I've been using this recorder for about four years.

The unit is designed for line or Mic level processing so you may lose a little high end if you don't run a direct box front of it... with that being said i have run a guitar directly into it and out to a USB XLR link for recording and had good results.

It really depends on what your intended uses are... The 280s are big, and most people would see them as somewhat impractical for portable use. That said, I use mine all the time when I'm out with my mp3 player.I will warn you though, if you have low-quality mp3s (anything under 192, really), the 280s will let you know very quickly that you need recordings encoded at higher bitrates. It's the double-edged sword of high-end audio equipment.

I think definitely YES! In terms of quality of the files what one gets this recorder is really great in its class. Just visit JVC home page before you buy it and check for the mounting stuff! At the time I bought this recorder mounting options were very poor... Hope they have heard customer voices and for now have more mounting options to offer. And of course - get some extra battery as well!

I purchased the PSP520 as that was recommended for my Tascam DR100mkII. I needed the power for the recorder as our orchestra can be on stage for 4 hrs, the batteries may not have lasted that long, so I am to be well prepared. I was not concerned with size nor if it was quieter, perhaps you can do a Google search for what you require.

I haven't tried recording music, so I don't know. May try later, when it's not late. I only got it to create audio books of rare books and periodicals I have access to at a college library.FOLLOW UP: I put the unit up to my home stereo speakers. They were not at a deafening volume, but loud enough you wouldn't want to be sleeping in a room nearby. No distortions. I held the recorder right up against the speakers. It captured pretty good tone differences too, depending on which tweeters/cones I held it to.

This should totally work for your needs. Ive had no problem at all with mine. I use it to record and play digital synth through a PA.

It is a dynamic mic so it will send more of a signal than a condenser mic but it still won't be a very powerful signal without sending it to a preamp before sending it to the recording device. I am not familiar with the device you are using but assuming there is a 1/8" input jack and you are using a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter you will be stuck with whatever mic level signal is coming from the mic without the ability to adjust gain (without adding distortion). I am not sure why you don't just use a better option, this way is not the best. There are adapters/systems for sale that allow you to plug a mic into you iPhone and other handheld digital recorders that come with an XLR input and a gain pot. Having one of these will give you a better result and more recording options.

Steve, the recording quality was very bad and we ended up returning the unit. My older sister has an immense album collection we want to convert but we are still looking for a good quality converter and have yet to find one. This has been some years now since we started looking. good luck mc

I've used it to record audio directly from a DJ audio mixer. It worked perfectly and the sound was clear.

No this will not have a Line Out for recording. There is an external speaker output for expansion, but this connection outputs power and you would not want to run it through a recording system.

I've never encountered your situation, but it seems to me that any signals that enter the recorder should record ... if you have a cable that goes from HDMI to RCA. Good luck!

IF you have the old RCA plugs you can record, but it is not HD. The quality is bad. Me and my friends bought this product and we had to buy another one

You can plug it into another system through the headphone jack. I had mine sey up on my PC so I could make digital recordings of my tapes. You need a special sound card that takes such inputs, but it worked fine for me. Recordings could then be modified through audio editing software to make them sound good. :-) Hope this helps.

I use the R24 to record live shows all the time. I use "Y" connectors/ splitters to take the signal off ahead of my board (as I don't have direct outs from my mixer/amp). This approach also gives me the advantage of being completely independent of the trim levels on the board. You can either mix down from the board or (what I do), import the audio files into Audacity or Logic Express (or any other sound editor) and mix from there. Feel free to check out youtube: LimeyInSD for videos wherefor about 1 year I've used the R24 to record the audio for about 1 and sync'd the results up with video footage to get an idea. Alternatively wolfflive.com and drivineast.com will get you to the same videos (possibly more efficiently). Good luck!

I would opt for a digital music recorder like a Tascam DR-05. It has direct guitar cable inputs for electric too.
