A440 Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 (edited) At a concert last night I plugged in the mics, set levels and noticed I was only getting one channel. When I checked it out later at home, it turned out that the mic cord had an invisible break or short. Gotta replace it. Luckily I had my Shure E3s, earplug phones. Plugged them into the mic jack--no attenuator, since 'phone recording volume is low--and amazingly enough, it came through. It's tinny, but it's very clear. With the little soft rubber earplugs on the 'phones, there was no noise just letting them sit against my shirt. I may upload a song to the gallery, not for sonic excellence but just to show it works.

A440 Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Exactly what I considered at the time, greenmachine.However, in the middle of a concert I couldn't be sure what was at fault--the mic plug, the cord--or what was coming through the remaining channel, whether there was static, etc. More important, it was one of those booming-bass concerts that would have me worrying about mic overload anyway. So I stuck with the headphones. No bass, no overload: the Sony method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
