The limiter wouldn't "destroy" anything-it would just keep your recording from hitting the ceiling during the ocassional high transient.
In any case, I don't think ANY portable recorder, let alone the H2, was designed to conduct "blow-out" tests-it was designed to record music or whatever in a civilized manner.

I've bought one, but haven't tested it yet for front-row concerts :)

@Axeshredder I'm looking for a recorder that can be used for concerts when you're standing front row... have you tested this one yet? Could help me a lot :)
& The video does also really help!

@ivandemer718 lol huh?

h2 sounds a bit muffled to me.

The H2 doesn't sound better, just quieter. I think with proper post production, the sound of the H2 would be better. Discard the limiter and start with a lower volume to prevent zero over. For just a shoot and go, the Sony wins in my opinion. You just have to pay attention to levels. If it's too loud, TURN YOUR MIC DOWN.

The H2 sounds damn good. The limiter wasn't so hot. Now you need to test it with a band.
