Hi Damon, Yes, that is the one from Sound Professionals that I mentioned I believe. I believe it is the SP-R09. It is a good little microphone. All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Damon Sent: 01 July 2007 07:04 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: mp3 recorders Steve. I have seen a couple of people mention that there is an external microphone you can get for the Edirol. I think I saw someone say that it is specially balanced so as to get rid of the hiss from the pre amp - whatever that means. Any thoughts appreciated.
