Correction to my last post: The Thread is actually about mini disc recorders, but the link to the thread was correct.

Anyone have thoughts on the issue of sound quality from the iRiver units?

Oh, btw- sorry Richard for hijacking your original thread…just wanted to shed some light on the iRiver subject, since it was mentioned.

Doug,

If you don’t mind, I’d appreciate comments on my post, down the page a bit, regarding wireless mics for a bride. Here is the url if you can’t find it: https://www.creativecow.net/forum/read_post.php?postid=111590189950550&forumid=11

I ask because you mentioned the iRiver products and I wonder if you have any experience with them. I purchased the iRiver iFP 895 and am not very satisfied with the recorded sound.

Thanks,

Chris

David,

I bought two of the iFP 895 models for backup audio and have been playing with one to acclimate myself to it.

I’ve found that the recorded audio sounds really canned during playback, with a very ‘digital’ sound, if you know what I mean. It sounds like a slight echo. Have you noticed this? Am I missing something in the setup for equalization or recording level? I tried playing w/a few of the settings but it still comes out sounding very canned.

I’m using the Azden EX-503 lapel mic recommended elswhere in this thread. It doesn’t sound any different than the 895’s integral mic.

Thoughts/ Suggestions?

Excellent. Thank you.

David,

I noticed the iRiver iFP 899 has 1gig of memory, whereas the 895 is 512mb.

What is the maximum recording time for the 895, assuming it is set for max quality?
