Bartolo37 Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Hi to everybody! I'm a new italian user. Sorry for my english, but i have a problem with my MD.I have the minidisc Sony MZR70 with a michrophone Sony ECM70P. Today i have try to do a little recording from the michrophone, and then when i go listen it i listen only in the right headphone. Why? Is there a reason? The michrophone is not broken, it work good. Thanks to everybood help meAndrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Could be the mic-/headphone jack or even the headphone itself. How do you know it's not the microphone? Do you get sound on both channels when listening to a prerecorded MD? Does the meter show levels on both sides while recording? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartolo37 Posted March 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Thanks greenmachine for help me.What is the meter? When i listen a prerecorded MD i get sound on both channel. I know that the microphone work because it recorder both left and right, the problem is when i listen the recording. I think that the reason is the jackThanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Plug your microphone into your computer's mic jack (red) and start a recording program like Audacity (free from Downloads up above on the right) by pushing the red button. Are you recording on both sides that way? If you are, then the problem is with your mic jack. It needs to be repaired, which could be expensive unless you know a good honest electronics repairman. You may be better off buying a new minidisc recorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Don't most soundcards have mono mic inputs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 (edited) You're right, greenmachine. When I have recorded with my binaural mics through the mic jack with Audacity, I would always get a two-channel waveform. But I see now, after testing, that it was simply duplicating one channel and ignoring the other. Bartolo 37 needs to test his mic on another stereo recorder to see if it's the mic or the mic jack. Or he can try using his headphones as a stereo mic. Plug them into the MD's mic jack and give each headphone a sharp tap. It should register loud enough to record. If sound is coming through both channels then the mic is the problem. Edited March 8, 2006 by A440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
