Dear Benjamin
I am sure we would all be pleased to hear about the results of your
experiments. It is a pity the Sony ECM-MS907 does not have sufficient
out-put.
At present, I use a Shure microphone with the preamplifier on my TC-
D5M Sony Cassette recorder before the M-audio ADC and my computer.
The TC-D5M has an extremely low noise level, but it would be more
practical to be able to connect a microphone directly to the M-Audio
input.
Of course there are transformers that can raise the voltage of a
microphone, but I don't know whether any are sufficient for inputting
to a computer.
I think they can also be quite expensive.
Regards
Anthony
