It's not you, it's the R90. I & a couple of other guys have been measuring the inputs of the R50, R55, & R90. The R50 on low sensitivity clips at 150mV, The R55 on low at 170mV, The R90 (no switch) at 28mV. They removed the high/low sensitivity switch on the R90 and it's far too easy too overload. I have pretty weak mics (sens. -48dB) and they will clip the R90 at about 110dB SPL. If you have mics based on the ubiquitous Panasonic WM60 or 61 they will clip much earlier. (NB: This clipping is irrespective of record level setting, it's the input stage clipping before any gain control, they are absolute limits.) So you really have to buy or make a battery box & use the line in. >MiniDisc Community Pages News for 5 May 2000 > o Glen Wintringham kindly translates the [1]Sharp MD-MT50 announcement >into English.
