The Sony IDC-SX2000 Audio Recorder

[Kevin Muldoon]

My Zoom H6 broke last week and Amazon have given me a refund. Rather than replace it with another large audio recorder with XLR ports, I thought I would try and get something smaller first (I may pick up another larger audio recorder later).

I think a small audio recorder will fit better into the way I record videos so I'm really excited about the Sony IDC-SX2000 that is arriving today. It's at the top of Sony's portable digital voice recorder range and has a lot of great features such as a retractable USB connection, great battery life, three different positions for the mic, high res recording, 16GB built in storage etc.

Not sure if will be able to replace a more expensive solution in all situations, but you never know.

I'll be doing an unboxing initially but will be doing a full review over the next week so I will be testing everything I can about it. If you have any questions about it let me know and I'll and answer them as there is very little examples of it being used online.

I've had the ICD-SX2000 for a day or so now.

They key to getting good audio with it seems to be choosing the right gain level. It's a fine balance between being too low and picking up too much background noise.

I did an unboxing and first impressions with some audio tests to show the range it has. It works great with a lavalier mic too so I will definitely be using a lav mic with it in many occasions now.
