EVP Recorders

EVP has long been a cornerstone to paranormal investigation, but with such a wide variety of options to go through in voice recorders today, how does one know what to choose. Many teams use modern digital recorders built by mainstream electronics manufacturers such as Olympus, Sony, and RCA. But others use special recorders along with those basic recorders, ones designed with features especially for the modern ghost hunter. One of these specialty recorders is a popular device knows as a Zoom. Zoom recorders come in different varieties like the Zoom H1 and H2. Zoom recorders are known for their highly advanced audio capabilities, like the H2's 4 different microphones built in, for a not before seen, crystal clear audio imagery. The H2, as well as other Zoom devices can be found on several ghost hunting websites. But for $200 or more, these are not for the strapped for cash individual. Other advanced recorders are known as Real-Time Audio Analysis Devices, and do just what you think they do, analysis on your audio in real time, instead of having you wait to go back home to go through your audio post-investigation. But, again, these devices can run up several hundred dollars in price. More advanced still, are recorders designed by DAS Distribution, known as the RT-EVP. The RT-EVP is a digital recorder/radio sweep device built with ghost hunters in mind. It has instant playback features for live EVP sessions, live audio monitoring, and even an inboard audio analyzer, that can pick out possible EVP's and even divide them up in between the classes, from A to C. All these specialty recorders are not cheap, but if you've got the money, one of these could definitely boost your EVP sessions to their max.
