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

The DP006 is an entry level 4-6 track recorder. It's not a professional board, but it does what it claims to do very well.

I own both (in fact I have Two LP 1240's and one LP 120) Get the LP1240. It's a much better record player. It's Heavier thus less feedback at loud volumes. It has standard RCA outputs rather then a fixed RCA cord which you can't easily replace if broken. It's more expensive but we'll worth it. Both are solid though. Hope that helps. Lars

Not that I recommended this device - I returned it. But, which line out are you using from your receiver? Normally for this type of operation you would take the "record" line out

Hi Jose, I'm not sure I'd use this for record directly into a PC with some sort of buffer. This unit can boost a signal quite dramatically and you may overdrive or even blow out your PC's audio input circuitry. For nearly the same cost you may be able to find a unit that has a UBS output port to do the same. If you are careful with the output volume it certainly may work, just be careful about it.

not from the unit, but if you are feeding the sound in from analog source to the rca's in, sure you could. This is a component recorder, it doesn't connect to the pc in that way. But as I say, If you feed the line out from the source, to line in on the unit, you can record what you hear.

I bought this item to use as a PA system which had a good output on a 4" speaker. I have not tried this on any other system so I can not offer a good answer at this time.

OFF TOPIC, but I have really gotten unexpected value from the voice recorder - I'm something of a community activist, attend board meetings etc. and find the recorder to be more than adequate to 'tape" meetings - I load the .wav files in Audacity and export as .mp3's - lose a little volume but very compact and portable after that.

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

This unit can record from just about any source, radio, sound board, tv, anything that has RCA output plugs or you could use an adapter to go say from 1/8 inch to RCA.I am using it to record live music from a sound board.

Simple Answer-NO Hope this helps! It is a very nice recorder. I have lots of music on my via micro-card.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not looking for studio quality, but just good enough to re-enjoy concerts. I've been using a Sony MD recorder, which is remarkable as long as I keep the volume under control. I'd also use it for acoustic group demo/critical listening, so it'll probably do OK for that. If all else fails in the concert area, I can keep using the minidiscs.Thanks again,Jim

If I understand correctly you want to know about an optical output that basically converts the optical signal into a 3.5 plug. It is probably possible, however I assume you're looking for the best audio quality, and from my experience those types of plus are bad with audio quality. Most digital/analog cable converters are. That being said, with just a regular rca Y-cable, this recorder is beyond exceptional and very versatile. I use it to record my dj sets at clubs, and so do many nationally recognized Djs that I know use it to record their podcasts. Record to .wav for the best audio quality and go with it.

SueEllen - The only external output (other than the speaker) is a standard earphone jack. The recorder has no way of saving/exporting the audio in mp3 format or any other format. I suppose there may be software for PC/Mac/Linux to take input via a sound card and save it as an mp3 file, in which case connecting from the earphone jack to the sound card might work. But I assume you're looking for a more robust solution. This recorder definitely isn't designed for that purpose. From your question, I'm not sure if you have it already or not; I assume probably not. It's a very good recorder and a very good value, but very likely not what you'll want if saving the audio on a computer is a requirement.

i found the best setup is--from your interface(the box that comes with your recording software) into a TUBE preamp(arc, prosonus) then into a compressor(this is essential for controlling the input/volume so you do not peak while recording) of your choice(i use one called "a really nice compressor" from the u.s of a) then into your lovely mic and away you go. ps. make sure you use the instrument input on your interface, from the pre-amp

This is a great recorder, and it record in high quality... I think if you just want to record conversations, you could probably find a simpler recorder. I use that all the time as musician, because I can have a real notion of how I played listen to the recording that this thing make. Yes, if you just want record conversations, it is better to find a simpler recorder... :)

It's great for voice recording when attached to portable recording devices. However, if you're looking for a serious "studio quality" mic for musical applications, you should adjust your price range up and look elsewhere.

This isn't the best of quality mic. Phantom power may have something to do with it. Are you using it for video in camera recording? If so don't record in camera alway use external recorders. I have this mic, I don't totally hate it but I know a better quality mic would get me better sound but for the price I paid for this I'm not mad...
