Phil, Sorry to break the news, but the TacT mic uses 9 volt phantom power - the Tascam provides 48 volts. In all likelyhood you've fried the TacT mic. You can try it with the RCS and see if it's working OK. If so, you need to make a 9v phantom power cable like this: http://www.linearx.com/files/pdf/LVPcables.pdf Except you can use a 9v battery instead of the AC adapter shown. If you've fried your TacT mic, the LinearX M31 is a higher-quality direct replacement and they will provide a TacT mic calibration file on request. http://www.linearx.com/products/microphones/m31/M31_1.htm Good luck, Kim -- krochat ------ iZotope SRC (96kHz offline upsampler) -> Touch -> TacT RCS 2.2X -> Convolver PC (w/Acourate filter)-> Apogee Big Ben -> (TacT S2150 -> Vandersteen 3a Signature + TacT S2150 -> TacT W210) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ krochat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6579 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84995 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
