I have already tried that, if i put the mic directly to line-in nothing happens... and battery boxes seems impossible to get here in Sweden...

Thanks for the helps fellows... well i have been thinking about getting myself one of those batterypowerthings and use the mic in the line-in instead. When i read the manual for the mic it said it could handle volumes up to 120db (if i remember it right) so im gonna try to manually set the recording volume to half. There is only one thing with getting new stuff, such as a batterybox etc, when i record i turn on the rec button and then i lock the buttons, most of the times i can not stand there and check the meter with a flashlight or something due to a large amount of people and/or guards. Last time i turned it on, locked the buttons and but the thing inside my shirt (i have a pocket on the stomach, you know those hoodshirts). And left it there. An easy way to record i would say, guess i have to be more professional then in the future Thanks for the tips both of you.

I need some serious help here, i own a Sony MZ-N707 with a Sony DS-70P Stereo mic. I have recorded three concerts with this equipment resulting in one good concert and two distorted. I always use a 80 min quality disc with the LP-2 mode turned on. The mic i connect to the mic-in. Automatic level is used. Why do i get distorted results after the concert? The last concert was Saxon, over two hours of great music and i got it all. I was as far back as i could be in the venue (a small venue with very loud sound) behind the soundboard. Still it was distorted, but mostly the R channel. Anyone with ideas? I have tried to test record at home using manual recording levels, to me it seems the same as using auto. :love:
