You can plug a microphone into wall current, but I didn't know if there would be any. Plus the recorders could be taped down fairly nonintrusively, but the microphone would need a stand and some setup. (Electrically it sort of works, but the battery drains _really_ fast and sometimes they spontaneously switched off).
Plus a good microphone cost about as much as each recorder, so I could only afford one to experiment with. (I still have the one I got somewhere around here...)
