I have used a Marantz PMD670 Field Recorder, but would like to replace it with a new and more up-to-date recorder. However, I am having a hard time find the right one and thus would like to hear some recommendations.
I will use if for recording bird songs and their calls, but also singing grasshoppers etc. for research purpose.
I currently use the following four microphones:
Sennheiser ME67 with a K6 module
Rode NTG-3
Beyer M58
Telinga Twin Science MK2 with a parabolic reflector
The recorder should be of equal sound quality as the PMD670.
Should be a portable field record and thus preferably be smaller than the PMD670
It should provide 48V phantom power
Have longer battery life than PMD670
XLR input
Low level of self-noise
Preferably use AA batteries
Low background hiss with external mics.
Hope that you have some recommendations
All the best
