Your recorder may be just fine. If you have an external microphone jack on
the recorder, you'll be able to use a wireless mic. Do be advised that the
wireless mics designed for the consumer market are quite fragile, and not
very well made. The products made for the professional market are much
better, and more rugged, but very pricey.

If you WANT to buy a new recorder, I'd suggest the Sony TC-D5M. It's not a
new model (I've had mine for 15 years), but it's GREAT for field recording,
has XLR and line level inputs, and is a real workhorse. There's also a
Tascam knockoff of it that's a little less expensive, but I have no
firsthand experience using it.

Cheers,

Steven

I'm a novice researcher and I need your help. I'm observing classes and
recording them with my journalist tape-recorder, but Im getting problems
with transcriptions. I acnnott understand what teachers say. Since I'm
interesred in teacher talk, I know that I need to purchase a new
recorder. Does somebody know about a good one that includes a wireless
microphone?
I'll appreciate your help.
