for concert recording purposes i am currently using a 9v battery box to adequately power my mics, using the line in setting instead (especially now that line in level is controlable!!). All my initial testing with this setup have been great, now iRiver just needs to fix this click bug in the recording every 40 seconds (even using optical  ) |
I wasn't aware that those binaural mics need to be powered.
So the battery box is all you need, not a pre-amp? Why can you use the line-in setting, with a battery box? If you are not using a pre-amp, wouldn't you still need to use the ext mic setting, which has an internal pre-amp?
