con spirito Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 i own an old mz-r700, and till now i have been recording my live concerts( mainly classical music) with a sony ecm-ms907 mic into the mic input.just realized the input says "plug in power"does it create any problem if i use a powered mic like this into a powered input?can i record with this mic in the line in input?thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 I don't know if you have to use the internal battery or if it can also be powered by the recorder's 'plug-in-power' alone, but i'm pretty sure it won't cause problems if you use the battery.You should in theory also be able to record via line-in with a powered mic, but most Sony mics are generally not too sensitive and cut a significant amount of low frequencies, so that you'll propably never overload the preamp anyway unless you recorder lacks a low sensitivity setting like the R700. In some situations mic-in will be too loud and line-in too quiet because of this absence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Test it by recording your stereo, but if you've been recording through Mic-in and getting useful levels, recording through Line-in is probably going to be way too low.
