What are you planning to record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you planning to record?an orchestra play in my university, they give headphones out the the hearing impaired so i was just wondering, if i would put the headphones on the microphone,put them together on the mic to capture directly to the mic; Would it capture more clear quality audio? I dont know if anyone has tried it and have results on it thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) Ahh, I know exactly what you are talking about. So I'm assuming they give out wireless receivers to you if you have bad hearing. And you just plug headphones into the receiver to listen. What you could do is get a cable that goes from the wireless receiver to your RH1's line in to record. Or use quality mics with a battery box and record via line in to your RH1. I would think that using mics would give better results. I highly doubt the wireless receivers are of quality.Edit: reading over your post again, it sounds like you are going to record with a mic with the source being what the headphones produce, that would be a horrible idea. And I don't think that mic you have is ideal for live recording. Edited May 21, 2007 by Sparda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't think that mic you have is ideal for live recording.Earphones are meant to couple with your ear. They will sound tinny and ridiculous held next to a microphone. Sparda is right--get the signal that's going INTO the headphones and connect to Line-in. Or just record the orchestra with the mic through Mic-in. Sparda, Sony claims that the MS957 is a professional-quality mic designed for music, and at $200 it had better be good. Though I do note that its frequency response only goes 50-18,000 Hz, not full-range 20-20,000. Sony ECM-MS957 * Achieves high-quality instrumental recording thanks to Sony's sensitive Electret Condenser microphone design * • Ideal for portable DAT or MD digital recorders with wide dynamic range * • Mid/Side (MS) capsules for natural stereo panorama; the Mid capsule picks up monophonic sound while the Side capsule picks up left/right difference sound; subtracting and adding the two capsule signals yield separate Left and Right channels - also permit electronic adjustment of pickup angle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
