Anyone had experience with the Sony ECM-999PR Stereo Microphone?
I got one on eBay and it has a low signal and severe amounts of hiss compared to other mics I've used on my system. Could it be damaged?

Never used the mic myself, but given what you are saying it could be damaged (though typically they just won't work at all then) could be a bad cable, a dirty jack, all sorts of stuff...get some cotton swaps and some electrical cleaner and clean off the ends of the cables and the jacks they plug in to...makes a WORLD of difference sometimes...

I own that one and its big brother. They are nice mic's, that one is commonly used for high quality recording of bootlegs shows.

You do know that it is a condensor mic and requires a battery to power its internals. First thing is to check and make sure youhave a battery installed, and it is good. That may be this hiss coming from cranking up your input to get a signal.

Also you do know it must be plugged into a stereo input for it to work correctly. Pluggin it into a mono input such as a mic input on your PC will cause severa n oise and possible damage to the mic itself.
