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.

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.
