Posted by Vooduex on 6/17/2013 5:58:00 PM Looking at the spectrograph, the H2n has the better overall balance and noise levels. The H1 has a more pronounced midrange between 600Hz and 3500Hz, and a lower bass capture. The DM420 has a higher noise floor and more accentuation above 3500Hz. The Olympus 803 is seriously lacking below 100Hz and above 4KHz. The Sony accentuates the mid & high frequencies, but at the expense of a higher noise floor.
 
Thanks Taky. I'm crossing the Olympus off my list for sure.
