Mack Attack Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 I noticed someone post a similar quiery in an earlier post RE: A hissy Sony Mic using a Sharp Mini Disc recorder. I have the same problem using a Sony ECM-MS907 mic with a Sharp MT80 mini disc. The mic input on the Sharp is very hissy when the input level is turned up. This is really annoying because the mic cost £90. It sounded OK when I tested it in the shop. This was due to the background noise in the shop masking the hiss. It is really noticible when using in quiet conditions. Can anyone suggest a way to PRE-AMP this mic cheaply? I've seen units on the internet that can do this but they cost anywhere between £90 - £200. I'm sure the components and circuitry would be pretty cheap. Are there any techno heads out there who have built such a PRE-AMP unit after encountering similar volume problems? Mack Attack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
