It's a single microphone.

Brian,

Is this a single microphone or a couple of ones held by a single wire that 
is connected to the recorder?

Hi Flor

We both use the same microphone, Sony ECM-MS907 Stereo Digital Microphone. 
The one microphone is used for stereo effect.  However, I do quite a lot of 
post production on the interviews afterwards, including converting to mono. 
Stereo is good, but 99 per cent of the time you hear an awful lot of garbage 
going on behind the two people taking part in the interview.
If you analyse it closely, you hear a lot of interesting conversations going 
on in fact ...

For that matter, I would also like to know the mic that brian uses.  i
can detect a difference in sound (quality!, timbre, frequency, that
sort) between Terry's recording and brian's recording.  Perhaps it's not
all down to the microphone.

Hi Terri,

I always have been impressed by the excellent recording quality of the
interviews that you conduct for Infotech.  I noticed that the recordings
are in stereo format, so I can hear your voice throu one of the speakers
and the person that you interview through the other speaker. I would
like to know if you use two microphones, and if so could you please give
me the exact model and reference?  If you only use one microphone could
you explain me how you achieve this stereo effect? If the latter is the
case, please also send me the microphone model and reference.

I also have a PTR2 recorder which I use to record my psychotherapy
sessions  with my patients and I would like to obtain the same recording
quality. Currently I use a mono Sony microphone (I dond't recall the
model but it looks like a  square   cookie  and at the time was very
expensive). However the recording quality is not the as good as yours. I
also would like to know what bit rate you use for the recordings.

Thanks for your help.


best regards,

Luis

  Paul.

  You are absolutely right, and solo as I understand it came about
because of the popularity of its P\c based brother.

  my understanding waas that the i pal and i pal solo are two different
products, the solo being the stand alone scanner and the i pal
connecting to a pc.

    HI,

    I was under the impression when I saw it that it could be connected
to a computer and all the text that one scans can be saved on the
computer's membory.

    Are we talking about two separate devices as I know there were a
number of differnet options  one could have when I saw it at Sight
Village.

      I would not say the Eyepal solo is a book reader, more a short
document reader.  As far as I know, it has no way of saving a large
amount of text.

          Hi  all,



      Would I be right in my gleaning that The KNFB Reader is really for
small document reading such as receipts, menus and the like whilst the
Eyepal Solo is
      good forr reading books?



      I feel now that it is a reading device for scanning/reading books
that I'm after!



      Conventional scanners are not what I'm after now  as I'd  have to
hack many's a great classic  and suchlike  to bits to scan their rich
pages!



      I have the Kurzweil for general documents, letters and so on.



      Something tells me too that the picture resolution from those
above named products using a camera would be better.



      Tony
