Condenser or capacitive mics (which this obviously is) need pre-amplification close to the module and ao require power. Larger mics are often battery powered, balanced pro-mics use Phantom power. This type of mic is supplied DC from the mic socket and is generally termed Plug-in Power, of course not all devices provide this mic power. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/insights/blogs/pro-audio/using-lavalier-microphones-recorders.html http://support.pentaximaging.com/node/616 Cheers, -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
