Yamaha C24 vs Yamaha 2G
I ordered a Yamaha C24 and received a Yamaha 2G instead. Anyone know the difference? This device seems very cheap, but I do not feel like exchanging if it won't make any sigificant difference for my use as a lav mic recorder.
thanks in advance for any insight you can offer. |

Re: Yamaha C24 vs Yamaha 2G
Another question about these units...will a lapel microphone need it's own power with these units? The Zoom H1 does not require a powered mic, and I want the same feature in whichever voice recorder I buy.
Regardless, I am returning the Yamaha 2g, I have found it is significantly older model than the C24. The G2 records at 16 bits instead of 24 bits, for what difference that makes. |

Re: Yamaha C24 vs Yamaha 2G
From what I see, they're similar. The C24 is a 'newer' model, but 'discontinued' according to B&H. Alternately B&H states the 2G as 'unavailable'.. which I would assume is also 'discontinued' since it was released two years earlier.
http://usa.yamaha.com/products/music...ion/recorders/ See the Yamaha website for features, specs, ect. and you decide. I would take umbrage to the substitution if not notified and/or given a nice discount. Pocketrak C24 Release Date : 1/2010 World’s smallest and lightest recorder (2oz./57g with battery)* 24bit/96kHz recording capability 2GB internal memory/Expandable with High Capacity microSD Cards Onboard Speaker Two Great Practice Aids: Built-inTuner and Metronome Peak Limiter for Optimum Music Recording 5-band equalizer lets you tailor the playback sound for optimum response. High-pass filter automatically reduces wind noise and low freq rumble.

Re: Yamaha C24 vs Yamaha 2G
Rick, thank you kindly for the research! Glad to know this about voice recorders regarding the plug in power. I know squat about recorders and this was a concern, as I had a recorder a few years ago that did require a powered mic and it was an upleasant surprise.
