New member here, making first post with a related question -- hope it's the approprite place. I do broadcast recording for public radio. My mic is an EV RE50N/D-B, and I'm about to order a Hosa xvm 105 cord (the XLR-1/8" stereo mini will fit into the mic and line in jacks on my Sony MD recorder). to minimize noise, and since I don't operate in teh field with a preamp, do you reccomend I use the mic or line-in jack? And if it's necessary, is a preamp feasible in the field?
