bcutlerj Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 hey, I just bought one and have recorded one live show at tipitina's in new orleans. it was loud and i got no distortion except what was caused by my occasional overboost of the manual record level on my sony n-1. Results were grade A. You dont need a batt-box, in fact the 719 has a place for a small watch type battery. I hear that you can reduce the risk of mic overload by combining the additional battery with your md's plug in power. I have not tested this theory. As for bass roll off i dunno. my first try yielded an excellent result/mix. I think the mic is quality and versatile . . . i use mine for home living room recordings. but let me know what you learn thru trial and error down the road. P.s. somewhere in this live recording thread, there is a post i put up about the 719 and an answer from someone as to whether you should use loud or soft mic power etc. it may be worth checking out. til then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arni Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 I bought the Sharp MT190H + the Sony 719 mic and I WILL record TOTO live in Toulon(FRANCE) on July 31st 2003(open air). I did lotsa recordings since 1987 with the Sony EMC-907 mic and some soundprofessional-binaural-mics in connection with the battery box. Some of my recordings really turned out being of great quality. Used a battery box for some of them but this time I wanna use the ecm 719 mic without any battery box(doesn´t fit in my pants to pass the security and all the cables....ouch!) ;-) ! Will do some sound-improvements such as bass-boost afterwards. Won´t go over the -4db mark reagarding signal-input. My ecm-719 is additionally powered by the proper battery(LR44...) and I will use it for this session, don´t know if it will improve the quality if its "double-powered"? Will let you know how things worked out. Will of course use the mic-in of my Sharp and LP2-mode cause TOTO plays little more than 2 hours.
