Tips: The Ambico model P-2000 camera case is the perfect size
for the JVC XM-R70 recorder (even with external battery pack attached)
and it has another compartment that fits about 4 MD's (in their cases)
comfortably. It even comes with a detachable carrying strap. The case
was $6.96 at Wal-Mart. -Brad Choi
Specs: Headphone 5mW+5mW (into 16 ohms). Input impedance:
Line: 47k ohms. Minimum imput signal level: Line: 100mV, Mic 1.3mV.
