I think the famous Sure 57 is still viable with converters no?? I've used them in very noisy rooms for man on the street and they are amazing at filtering out people talking near by. They can be use as hammer it seems too, they are very heavy seem made to withstand the band on the road life.

Your right, the camera has a 1/8 jack not a 1/4. I always get confused on the sizes. The bhp link for the XLR-1/8 adapter cable would work for the physical connection but don't I also need to supply power for the Mic? The H4n looks like a really cool device, but it is also bigger than my

Power to the mic - depends on the mic. Yes if your mic is a condenser mic and needs phantom power, no if it's a normal dynamic mic (like a Shure SM-57 or 58). David Lee King davidleeking.com - blog davidleeking.com/etc - videoblog twitter | skype: davidleeking On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 9:23 AM,

The H4n has XLR inputs but unfortunately the mic preamps are really noisy. I almost got one, since I have AT4073's which are really fantastic shotgun mics, but the noise was a deal killer. The Olympus LS10 can be found pretty cheap these days and while it doesn't have XLR inputs it beats out the

Someone linked to the AudioTechnica website but I'm not sure what they were exactly trying to link to. They have good quality, affordable mics that use the 1/4 jack. Do some searching. Jay -- http://ryanishungry.com http://momentshowing.net http://twitter.com/jaydedman 917 371 6790

Joly, if you are using external mics a couple of inline mic pads will solve the distortion problem. With the internals, not sure what you could do. I shoot loud bands and my problem is that the level just overloads the pre-amps in my Zoom H2's - so preamp noise is not a problem. Does the H4N
