Hey, now, Wal-Mart's quailty isn't as bad as it used to be.  I work for Wal-Mart, so I had to say that. But, anyway, they are using wal-mart brought recorders, I believe. I actually saw one that looked exactly like some of the one's they use and I can tell you that they are insanely cheap. Like about $24. I don't know much about recorders so I don't know if they are 'poor' quality or not because of the cheapness.
I've always wanted to know more about the equipment they use because I just don't have much knowledge in that area. I've tried looking on the internet but I keep getting search results for paranormal investigation sites that really don't tell me much about what the equipment was orginally designed for including it's limitations and who would use the devices (other than paranormal investigators). Those sites just give me theories about the devices in relation to the paranormal.
Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but if any of you know of any sites that could tell me more about K2 meters and EMF meters and digital recorders I'd be really be grateful. In the mean time I'll keep looking.
Magnetic hard drives? What on earth are those…(feeling stupid)

Don't underestimate the brains trust on this very board. There are a number of skilled people here that could probably answer your questions, so ask away.
As for magnetic hard drives, that's what pretty much all hard drives are. Data is stored on platters or discs by recording heads in a not too different way to tape. Except instead of tape, the magnetic media is a set of discs. Because it's magnetic, it can be errased by powerful magnets, or written over again.
Wikipedia is a good source of info too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive

Oh I see! Ah, so that's why you gotta keep strong magnets away from hard drives. This explains much!
Thanks for the info. I do use wikipedia. it's such a perfect place to get general info about almost anything. So…I'm off!

I know that MH isn't exactly the pinnacle of truth in ghost hunting, but they did occasionally have EVPs recorded on their production mics and sometimes on their handheld devices. I'm not sure if the same sound ever occured on two different devices, though. Seems a little more probable than GH. Then again, GH seems to be working with the "we're just doing our thing and there happen to be cameras around" attitude instead of MH which used it's production crew as a main source of "evidence" collection.
I think GH has some of the worst EVPs. There was one episode (can't for the life of me remember which one), but what they thought they heard was nothing like what I heard. But that's the problem with EVPs. I enjoy listening to the radio show Coast to Coast AM, and about once a year they have a paranormal group on that presents EVPs that they have collected. Some of these EVPs are unmistakable – you don't need anyone telling you what you are hearing. Granted, you have to trust the group and hope that they are presenting the circumstances of the capturing of the EVP correctly. I am in general a trusting person, so until they are proven to be faking, I find it fascinating.
I'm not sure that there is any way to prove EVPs unless you are there as the recording is taking place and you can verify for yourself that no one said anything. But this is based on the assumption that you have a crystal clear voice, not the static with a tone that seems to be the norm for EVPs on GH.

Hello all,
I am new here, and have posed this question on other forums. I think we should approach this from a scientific perspective. Sound is nothing more than vibrations that travel through air. With that said, the high quality production microphone should be able to pick up the same vibration as a cheaper and lower quality digital recorder. That is unless, the EVPs were added to the mix after filming.
Just my two cents,
Danelle
