Dear all, I've got a Sony MZ-N510 minidisc recorder which I'd like to use for voice recordings (singing). Now I need to buy a microphone but the player only has a Line-in (optical) connection, no Mic-in. I was told I would need a pre-amp, which would cost another 90 euros... Does anyone know if there's another (more budget) solution? Would a mic with its own power source raise the input level sufficiently to get more or less decent recording quality? Thanks & all best!
