Hi

I've just ordered my DR470 (brrr! no patience!smile.gif

Now I find it hard to choose a microphone. I know there are users of DR7 around - what do you guys plug in?

I plan to record live music. For me *quality is an issue* and I'd be ready to spend some more bucks for a better mic.

Shall I aim for an active or a passive one? What *type* should be better? Do I need a preamp? And is the impedance important? What impedance/sensitivity is considered good?

Somewhere in the forum I read good words about Sony ECM MS907. Is it any good, or should I look for something else? (100Hz-15KHz does not sound quite convincing).

I think for concerts cardoid mics are better, as the omni-directional are more likely to pick up side noise. Am I right?

Sorry if you find this avalanche of questions boring - a suggestion to any sources would be greatly appreciated. I admit that I don't know anything about this matter.

Thanx.

Nikola
