Yea, and I am getting no sound at all, tried the Mic setting, the line in setting, every setting that I can think of, I know it should work, but for the life of me I can't figure out why it's not, I changed batteries, etc...I know it's not an ideal situation but I was hoping to put off for

I think the Rode is high impedance, so you need more than an adapter you need an actual impedance matching transformer to get good sound, but something else is amiss if you are getting NO sound. Have you tried both mic inputs? The switches are definitely set correctly? Levels are up? Brook On

Oh, and I THINK (can't remember) there is a mic pad in the menu if not in the audio routing switches, make sure that is off too. On Thu, Apr 24, 2008 at 6:50 AM, Brook Hinton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think the Rode is high impedance, so you need more than an adapter you need an actual

Yep, yep and yep...I tried everything but based on some feedback from Brian and Brook, I know think it was my adapter. it was working for my handheld mic but that is mono and my Rode is stero, so I think that may be part of the issue based on what they are saying. But I am thinking I may
