I have exactly this microphone and it does not produce an acceptable output level directly on a computer. The output on a MD-recorder or with my M-Audio Microtrack 24/96, which i recently bought as a replacement for the MD is also not really satisfying and quite noisy (which may be caused by the built in preamp). Will give it a try with some mics that can be connected with phantom power directly to the microtrack (like the Rode NT-5, ...) hoping that this makes it a nice portable recording solution.
