greenmachine Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 You will need a recorder with mic-in (built-in preamplifier) or an external preamp unless you want to record extremely loud sounds only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 A line input needs a strong signal. A mic input--there is none on the MZ-NH600--provides a little bit of power to the mic and also has a preamp behind it to handle a weak signal. The MS907 expects a preamp. For amplified music you can probably get away with mics plus a battery module. I use Soundprofessionals BMC-2 mics and a Microphone Madness Classic Mini Battery Module to record music into my line-in jack. Those are probably fairly sensitive mics, more sensitive than the Sony--which means they generate more voltage when sound hits them--and the 9V of power from the module provides a strong enough signal for line-in except for things quieter than speech.

I have the parts for a 40db gain Mic pre , for unbalanced mics which would be just about right , It requires 6Volts battery bank (AA's in a Pack would be fine ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobt Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 an easier alternative would be to ask if you can plug into the mixing board, most bands are OK with that if you ask,lot easier than trying to re-engineer a productBobIn other words, "use the source" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
