Sony MZ-R37 Portable Minidisc Player/Recorder Reviews
I highly recommend this versatile recorder for anyone who needs remote digital recording at an affordable price. I have had my mini disk for several years and had initially used it to make backing tracks for my single act. It is good enough to send direct to CD. Recently, however, I have purchased a Sony stereo mic and have begun to record "live" performances with it.
But many of the MZ-R37's recordings were good enough to be on a CD with these and not embarrass me in comparison. And that's saying a LOT for a dirt cheap pocket size recorder with 1/8th inch input/output jacks. I originally had rather low expectations.
ironmancurtis.com. I just wanted to review the music. I use the MD to record my/our live performances. I'm a professional musician, working solo (vocals, electric harmonica, guitar, organ bass pedals) or with other musicians. The quality is excellent.
I've had my MZ-R37 for several years. I've been able to use many tunes recorded on the MD for CD's. One can truly do magic with top line gear and a highly skilled production staff in much less time. Mike Curtis. Yes it's THAT good.
Generally I used the output of the sound reinforcement system (tho I made a lot of very good recordings with the included stereo mic). I'm not claiming this will replace a full blown Pro Tools studio with Neumann U87's and a staff of Hollywood recording engineers, producers, and such.
The unit is very small, but also very sturdy. I have been using and enjoying mine for over 2 years. It comes with a folding headset, Sony Nickel Cadmium rechargeable batteries, remote control, power adapter, and an optical cable.
For recordings, I suggest using the power adapter instead of running on battery power. This is a portable Mini-Disc player with the capability to record. I believe the body of the unit is metal, not cheap plastic.
This is a sophisticated, well-made device. An excellent Sony product. The unit has the capability to recharge the batteries when it is plugged in to an outlet.
I highly recommend it if you can find it here or ebay. Do not mistake these for the cheaper Sony portable audio products that seem to be geared for teenagers.
I sometimes forget that I have it with me cause it's so light and compact. Even if it's kind of old, it's still good. When I started to use it I realized what was hidden under its silver body panel. :) I recommend you to buy this product.
I take it to school everyday, and swich the batteries every 2 to 2 and a half weeks. I got this MD player as my Christmas present. Once I ran to the bus listening to my MD, and it didn't even skip. The Mini Disks are too very light and easy to carry. Thank you for reading my review.
The sound was amazing (44.1 kHz) and the batteries lived for a good time to enjoy the music (approximately 12h with alkalines). It didn't look very attractive and new, in terms of design.
