Hi Jamie

Most interesting.  So you actually get better results using a preamp than
using the microphone input socket of the plextalk?  Is that correct?

Andre,

I can't give you a personal opinion in terms of comparing a condenser mike
with a dynamic mike but would say that, in my opinion, the best recording
results I've had have been using a condenser mike and recording onto the CF
card using the line in jack with a pre-amp.  If I then need a CD copy, I use
the backup process after doing any editing that's required.

I've always found that, if you record direct onto a CD there is often a
faint squeaking sound ends up on the final recording.

Hope this helps.

Jamie

Hi all

Just want to find out if I am correct here.

It does seem as if the plextalk ptr2 seem to work better with an external
condenser microphone than with a dynamic microphone?  I have a reasonably
good quality sennheiser dynamic microphone  I tested with the ptr2.  I found
that in order to get reasonable results, I had to turn up the recording
level up to full.

I would be most interested to hear what other people's experiences are
regarding using external microphones with the plextalk.

Regards

Andre
