Strangely, the manual lists full specifications for every other input of the device (say, the optical jack, or the line in), but does not list the signal-to-noise ratio, THD, or frequency response for the onboard microphones. What are the tech specs of these microphones? Unfortunately, it's difficult to know. This is in contrast to my experience with the Zoom H4n's microphones, which I found loose and wobbly after repeated use. They've remained firm despite nearly a year of shifting them back and forth. Like the D50, the D100's microphones move solidly in place. Here's a gallery of the D100 packaging and unboxing. It matches the packaging experience of Apple, Twelve South, and Drobo products. The recorder rests on a bed of satin cloth with the manual and accessories hidden beneath. The D100 arrives packaged like the pro device Sony claims it to be. Finally, I'll conclude with observations and pros and cons the recorder. I'll include field recording samples and A/B comparisons. I'll also share new features of the D100. For this review, I'll describe what's changed between the D50 and D100.
They addressed almost every concern in my post, and more. Just the same, my review noticed a number quibbles for capturing sound effects in the field. However, the audio quality was the best amongst its peers, and the certainly the best for under $1,000. I reviewed it on the Airborne Sound blog at the time ( article one, article two). It was created to record high-quality, low-noise audio in a professional-grade unit. The D100's older brother, the Sony PCM-D50, appeared to be designed specifically to surpass the limitations of most portable recorders. This review considers the unit from a specific perspective: field recording sound effects beyond the studio. Just the same, there will be enough data here to draw your own conclusions.Ī further note: some may use the D100 to capture music or dialogue. Note that some comments here are editorialized with my personal opinion. I've compared it with other portable recorders and even pro external microphones. I've now had time to test most of the recorder's features repeatedly with a wide variety of sound effects in many different situations. I've had the unit for perhaps a year or so.
