Yes, but is that an adjustment of analog input sensitivity, or a change
made digitally post ADC?

The three-position-switch is for input sensitivity. The REW and FF keys
adjust the level of the signal as recorded. I agree there is a difference.

Neither can I, which is why I didn't say anything about the external mic
input in my review other than that it was there. Then someone wrote into
the magazine asking why neither reviewer (Bruce Bartlett did the primary
review) mentioned the low gain and high noise level of the mic inputs -
something he said "everybody knows."

My response to him was that the power and value of the H2 is that it's
self-contained and just so handy to use that I didn't see any reason to
ever use external mics. In fact, I bought a Korg MR-1000 so I'd have a
handy portable recorder with usable mic inputs for those applications
where I wanted to use good mics but didn't want to carry an armload of
equipment. However, I did take the guy's comment to heart, and did
mention in a review of the TASCAM DR-1 that the external mic inputs
were pretty much useless unless the source was loud or you have a high
sensitivity mic. I'd like to get my hands on a Rode NT-4, which has the
highest output level for a given SPL of any self-powered stereo mic I
could find, at least according to the spec sheet. Maybe it would work
out well as an external mic for these recorders, but somehow using a
$500 mic (because it's the only one that will work effectively) on a
$200 recorder doesn't make much sense to me.

But you never want to use that control to lower the level to bring it
down below full scale if you have to lower the setting below 100 in
order to do it. Otherwise, you 'll get a nice clean digital recording of
a clipped analog signal.
