I have owned several TX650 voice recorders for over three years now and wanted to share my thoughts on their ease-of-use and how they perform within a wedding scenario. I'll be looking at things like size and ergonomics, as well as the sound quality of the recorded audio files. I hope you enjoy the review. If you have any questions, please drop them in the comments section and I'll make sure they get answered.

Great review. No nonsense, you use it for the video itself and you include real world example footage 👍
I really appreciate your kind words. I always try and make the type of video I enjoy watching myself and for me, real world examples and practical experience from using a product are what help me to make a buying decision.
in place of the sleeve, you can also use electrical tape.. leaves no residue and easily removable. sleeves can sometimes cover up buttons and controls on the DJ's mic
Lovely, thank you!
Nice video's, I use both the Sony TX605'S and the Tascam Dr-10L. These are excellent and never had a problem with them so far, the battery life of the TX650's is amazing.
Thanks Gary! Yeah, they compliment each other perfectly so owning both allows you to deal with pretty much anything!
I was asking me if this model of Sony recorder could be good to be used for a security purpose considering the dimensions and the performance.
However very exhaustive review man!!
Great review! How does it stack up if you wanted to record sound (of someone speaking) from a speaker? Much distortion?
Thank you very very much. Very straight and informative.
Can I ask how to make the speeches better (more ambient and lower freq) in Audition?
Thanks George. Glad you enjoyed it! I don't use Adobe Audition myself but adding a some bass is always a good idea. In terms of making it sound more ambient...I sometimes mix in the audio from the camera at a very low volume level to give a subtle ambient 'flavour'!
Great video. It helped
Glad to hear it!
Wow, good review.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hello
can you transfer audio from sony to iphone with lightning usb adapter?
Hi folks. I'm having trouble downloading the audio files on my Mac. It's just not registering it my Finder like a hard drive normally would? Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
I got 3 in 2018, those are excelent and long lasting.
Yeah, I've built up a collection over time too, and (touch wood) they are all still working perfectly fine and holding their charge really well.
Great vid! I love the TX650! I can’t find the link for the Mic sleeve? Definitely going to purchase one. Thanks
Thanks Joe. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I just checked and it appears that the shop I bought it from has closed. I'll find an alternative and let you know :)
Wedding Film Geeks that would be amazing! Thanks
Great video! I do not see the link for the microphone sleeve. Is it still available?
Thanks Manny. I've just added the link to the description.
how do you edit the audio after shooting? I had mine in the grooms inside jacket pocket and it sounds like hes talking into a cone.
Hey dude. It's important that the mic modules are not concealed or they won't pick up the sound well and everything will sound muffled. Make sure you clip them so the top of the recorder, where the mic modules are situated, is exposed and close to the mouth. You can't hide the mic completely beneath clothing like you sometimes can with a lavalier mic. In terms of editing, I just add a little bass in the editing software and it sounds great!
Thank you this video. Love this recorder. Where is the video for best settings for Best sound quality
Thanks love first! Yeah, it's ideal for weddings due to it's simplicity and amazing battery life. The settings video will be live in the next few days :)
I've just shared the new video on the best settings now...I hope you enjoy it :)
@@CameraGeeks thank you
Can I get the sleeve in the US??
Also do you mind making a video on your lightning for wedding speeches
I'll add it to my list for future videos. Thanks for the suggestion :)
How are you bro? I bought the same recorder after seeing this video. However my Mac Catalina 10.15.7 is not recognizing the recorder.
Doing good thanks bro! Oh no, that's strange. I'm on Mac OS 11.1 and it's opening fine. Are you using the cable that came in the box? Have you tried it on a few different ports?
Hi ! Can you tell me which settings did you use during the recording of this video in your living room please ! Thanks
Hi Richard. I have another video on setting for the TX650 right here...th-cam.com/video/eYaVBpCZSFI/w-d-xo.html
@@CameraGeeks Thks
@@CameraGeeks this link still dosent go over all settings?
In your experience, when you attach this recorder to a microphone sleeve, would people's hand movement ruin some of the sound? For example if someone is constantly switching hands while holding the microphone would that switching of the hands show up in the recording as a loud distortion? Kind of like when you rub your finger near the microphone you can hear that rubbing sound.
Hi. I've use the mic sleeve on around 10-15 weddings now and I've never noticed any rustling myself. I can't remember if people were switching hands though to be honest!
What about sync with video, when the video is very long?
Hey Nils. I've always used a program called Plural Eyes. It syncs audio files with video files and if there is any audio drift (where it slowly loses sync over extended periods of time), Pluraleyes will make the necessary adjustments and export a finished XML file out ready for editing in Premier or Final Cut Pro.
My clip has snapped off. Can’t find any replacements
I've got a clip that's a bit wobbly now. However, I have owned 7 units for around 3-5 years so I'm still impressed with how well they have performed over this time and sooo many weddings.
I wish someone would make one of these with 32bit float
Yes, probably just a matter of time 🤞🏻!
@@CameraGeeks Hopefully! 🙏 Some patent issues most likely slowing down the evolution.
The mic and the recorder sleeve is a great way to leave scratches and scuff marks on both devices...forget it!
Try to learn how to click your fingers;) Great video! Thanks!
it is clipping like crazy..
Built in battery...forget it! Once it dies and can't be charged...then you have a paper weight, an expensive fix at a repair facility or it is something to recycle and purchase another one. I only purchase devices with external batteries.
Nice recorders, but a bit pricy for beginners.

You could spray the clip on a couple of them white. It's made of metal so should last if you properly key the surface first.
