The Sharp model 702 minidisc recorder is easy to use for direct feeds off a mixer. I don't recall there being a mic input, however. I suppose one could try to input a stereo mic with 1/8" plug into the "line in" and see what happens. . . . The Sony WM-D3 recordable walkman cassette comes with a remote stereo microphone, and has Dolby B noise reduction, mic and line inputs, and frequency response up to 16khz. Retail is $269.00, but one can sometimes find them (a little bit rare) for $199.00 or $209.00. I currently have one on order and will let you know how it works out. I've heard the results of one, and they're not bad at all. If my memory serves, Wayne Krantz's CD "Two Drink Minimum" was recorded at a New York jazz club with one of those, but I may be wrong. Hope this helps. Michael. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dr. Michael S.
