Api Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Moin,i have got a Sure SM 58 Mic and tried to use it with my Sony MZ R-37. İ had an Adapter Cable from XLR to 3,5 mm. No Signal.My Question: what might be the reason? Should the microphone normally work with the MD (without an extra preamp)? Or should İ better buy another mic? İn that case, İ have very less money and am in İstanbul at the moment, so how can İ find a very cheap one? (i would ask in the shops.. but what should İ consider by chosing a mic? Should be OK for İnterviews and reporting..)Thank you!Api Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
