Hello! We welcome back HighFidelity1989 for this week's review of the MZ-R55 Portable Recorder! HighFidelity1989 has been a long time reviewer for MDCon and instrumental in support of the MDCon show in Switzerland as well as support from Asivery, Sir68k, Maz, and Anemone.
The MZ-R55 was an amazing device for it's time and still shines today in all regards except battery life. If you are trying to record on battery, you better have a sidecar! It was solidly constructed and built to last! To my knowledge, it's companion recorder was the soon to be reviewed MZ-R37 that was designed as cost reduced version of the R55 and designed for the world market as it accepted as it's power supply Dual AA batteries instead of gumstick battery. This made the device suitable for the worldwide market as a field recorder, just in a larger form factor.
Now, on to the review! Sony MZ-R55
