A440 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 That recorder is not made for microphone recording. It has a (white) line-in jack, which expects an amplified signal, like the output of a CD player. It does not have a (red) mic-in jack, which amplifies the much lower signal from a microphone with a built-in preamplifier. You can buy a separate preamplifier, but it would probably be cheaper to simply get another MD recorder with a microphone jack. None of the units beginning with a 5 (like MZ-N505, etc.) has a mic jack .Look at the models here (there's a column called Connectors with each unit listed) to make sure any unit you are considering has a mic jack. http://www.minidisc.org/equipment_browser.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
