Guest Anonymous Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Hi, can anyone tell me if my Net MD MZ-N505 is capable of using the Sony ECM-DS70P microphone? I bought this microphone yesterday online and i tried it on my MD by pressing REC and PLAY at the same time. The LCD screen showed the word REC and the time is moving. after I stopped and it started saving and then it was done. So i press play to listen to what I thought I recorded, but instead it was blank, but the time is running on the LCD screen. Did I do the recording procedure wrong? I hope someone can help me. IF so reply back ASAP either here or at my email: gatsby1211@yahoo.com Thanks Gatsby1211 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudden Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 The MZ-N505 don't have mic in, if you plug into line in you get silence. Just like plug a mini cord into it. Most mic get the electric current trough mic in with something called "plug in power". The MD provides the mic with it's own battery power. Only way for you is to get a battery box (phantom feeding), get a different mic with built in power or a MD with mic in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcutlerj Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 you could try the ecm-719 i use it with an N1 but it accepts a battery that should accommodate your line in. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Oh man, so my MD doesn't work with that mic huh? Darn. Thanks for letting me know about it. When i bought it the guy on ebay said that's what he has so that's why i got it. Well I'll just sell it back on ebay I guess. Thanks for all your help again "sudden" and "bcutlerj".

sudden Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 It's a good quality mic you got. If you didn't pay alot for it or are desperat short on cash I say keep it. Never know what's around the corner, a cheap Sharp MD with mic in prehaps? Then with that mic you can make good sounding recordings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
