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

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.

Thank you
