[RNLD] Field equipment

Hi all,

I wanted a bit of advice on recording devices and mikes.

I have been using an Edirol R-09 forever which has been fine but they are only minijack input not XLR so I was thinking of changing. The options seem to be:


  1.  Edirol R-26 (+ higher end models) http://proav.roland.com/products/proav_r-26/
  2.  Zoom H-6 (+ higher end models) www.zoom.co.jp/products/field-video-recording/field-recording/h6-handy-recorder<http://www.zoom.co.jp/products/field-video-recording/field-recording/h6-handy-recorder>

Anyway advice would be good. I have heard the preamps in the Zoom are better. This is the kind of difference I would like to know about.

Second, I'm looking at different mikes. I need a wireless set up. I have a really nice Sennheisser set up which I like a lot but there is a RODE alternative that is cheaper. Some filmmakers have recommended it to me but I need an XLR version. Anyone have any advice on that:

Same goes with RODE lapel mikes. I would prefer an XLR set up.

Any advice would be great!

Felicity
