Hi!

I'm new to this list and very thankful I've found it.

I have a few questions about the MD-SR60 portable MiniDisc player/recorder.
I got one for Christmas and am unfamiliar with this type of media and
plug-in power.

1.  What is plug-in power and how does it differ from the standard 48v
phantom power used in condenser microphones?

2.  Will a normal dynamic microphone work with this MD recorder?  I'm told
that the MD sends power to the microphone...what kinds of microphones could
be harmed by using them with this model MD?  What types of microphones will
hurt the MD?

3.  Is it possible to use a microphone powered by a battery?  If I take out
the battery, will the microphone be powered by the MD and work just fine?

4.  Can anyone recommend a mic under $100 that will be compatible with this
model MiniDisc recorder?  Would the Sony ECM-MS907 be ok?

5.  I have tried a normal dynamic microphone with an XLR to 1/4" cable.
When I use a tip/sleeve 1/4" to 1/8" adapter (to go from the mic cable into
the MD recorder) I do not get any signal into the MD recorder.  When I use a
tip/ring/sleeve adapter, I do get signal but when I connect it, I hear an
electrical popping from the microphone.  Can anyone explain what is going on
here?


Thank you for your time.  I would appreciate a response as soon as possible
as I am going out of the country in two days and need this MiniDisc recorder
to be functional.
