WaywardTraveller Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 So I bought this little puppy in Singapore for about 60 Canadian dollars (yay!)....am quite impressed with it; even though I know it't not the optimal option for recording loud concerts or anything like that (I have SP's TFB-2s for that ), they are quite sensitive and work very well,I find, in their own way.Some people have complained about hearing the MD unit motor in their recordings; I've discovered that if you own this mic and happen to have an earbud extension cord, i.e. one that comes with the EX81s or EX71 long-cord option, you can use this cord as an extension for the mic without compromising the plug-in power. Works like a charm! Sorry if someone has already pointed this out...but I was feeling a bit proud of myself for figuring it out on my own peaceWaywardTraveller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have at least a couple of them that are 3 metres long that I got for a few bucks. Comes in real handy for a nice extension cord so you don't have to reach the back of the computer to plug anything into the MIC and LINE IN and LINE OUT, too.

Archivist Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Good thinking! I have used headphone extension cords, and I also use a right-angle plug adaptor from Sound Professionals. Just about all extension cords use a straight plug, which protrudes a lot from the side of the unit. SoundProf makes a little extension cable with a right-angle plug on the mic side, which minimizes the amount of protrusion.Tangent: is it just me, or does the NH900 make much louder whirring noises than the older Sony's and Sharp DR480?~Archivist~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
