Sep 22, 2003 06:09 pm Yeah, sounds like you need a small preamp - you should be able to find a relativly inexpensive one over at Muscian's Friend.
jues.
Sep 22, 2003 06:32 pm Depends entirely on the mic. What sort of power requirements does the mic have?

Sep 23, 2003 02:43 pm I guess that if it doesn't have a mic input it must not have "plug-in power" which is like a pre-amp built in. In that case I suppose you will need to buy a separate pre-amp... perhaps you can find portable/battery powered ones. I don't know, I guess you'll have to look around.
Sep 24, 2003 03:03 pm i have a Sony MD-S1 "net MD" which does not have plugin-power and my Sony ECM-T6 mic (takes a 2025 Li cell) works just find in the line in. Of course my old Sony MZ-R37, which isn't a "Net MD" does have plugin power and the ECM-T6 works with lifelike sensitivity when used in conjuction with plugin power.
but if you mic is truely self-powered, then is should work just fine in any line-in.
