A slighty oversimplified explanation: A microphone is basically a 'reversed' speaker, it converts motion (vibrations on the membrame) to power (current through the wire). If you know that the plug in the device has a microphone-input wired up to the earphone socket, you can use and earphone as a microphone. So if the hardware supports it (the wires in the socket connect to a pin on the chip that can record), you can use both a normal microphone and an earplug as a means to record sound. It all depends on the internal wiring and the configurability of the chip. Another option is to modify a bluetooth headset to function as a line-in, since it has been mentioned the 770 will support headsets. hope this helps, Koen > > Regards > Alex > > >>-----Original Message----- >>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of ext Juha Yrj�l� >> >>It'd also work nicely as a guitar effects processor due to the powerful >>DSP.
