Dean,

I chose a dynamic microphone for my Sony MZ-b100 minidisk recorder a
few years ago.  I wanted an omni directional microphone for my first
purchase.  It has an excellent pick up and robust sound.  I find the
sound from powered microphones to be sharp with edges with the
increases and falls in volume not rising or declining gracefully.
Based on demonstrations from Tim Cummings, I chose an AudioTechnia
microphone.  If you want the specific model number let me know.  I
thought that the recorder on the Plex Talk had a powered amplifier for
microphones.

looking for a good stereo microphone to conduct podcast interviews

2010-03-09 Thread Dean Martineau
Hello.  I may launch a podcast where I sometimes interview people using the
Plextalk Pocket.  I'd like recommendations for a good stereo microphone for
capturing the interview. I think it needs to be powered.  

Thanks for any experiences.

Greetings,

I forgot to say the mic is about five inches long and easily held  in the
hand, it comes with the usual 3.5mm plugged into the usual 6.4mm adaptor so
can be used in either format.  Cost in the UK about £70, sorry, don't know
what it is in dollars.

Greetings,


I am not sure if it is still made but I use a Sony ECM970 which 

is a small
hand-held single-point stereo-mic with three-position switch - 

towards the
hand is off, middle is narow- and nearest the head is wide-band 

stereo.  It
is powered by a single AA batterey, I have a metal hydride in 

mine and one

charge has lasted well over a year.  When the charge goes, it
*8sudd**suddenly** goes, takes about half a minute or less, fades 

and then
gone unlike most dry cells which in my experience of some forty 

years, give
good power for a fair time then over a period of (say) two or 

three hours,

fade giving worse and worse sound.


Metal hydride batteries need a special charger, cannot charge 

with one used
for the old-fashioned nycads, they do not have a memory as did 

nycad
batteries and they can last about a thousand charging cycles but 

when they

fail, they fail completely.


I've been using them for the last half-dozen or so years and have 

used many
many in all kinds of equipment;  in the time, have had about 

three duds and

five finished their lives.

I wish I hadn't lost the cable to my Nady CM-2S so soon after getting it, 
but I own one and am impressed with its sound...Just be careful with 
handling noise.  It is ery comparable, at a lower price, to the now 
discontinued Audio Technica AT822.

Greetings,

the sony mic comes with it's own pop-guard, I think I gave ECM970 as the
model number, thinking further, I think the one I actually have is the
ECM950.

Any idea how the ECM970 compares to the ECM907?  IRTI sells that and may be
recommending it for use with the Pocket?
