If you're hearing mic pre-amp overload distortion (also known as
"brickwalling") there are two solutions: reduce the level coming out of
the microphones using an attenuator cable, or feed a lower gain input
like the line level input.
If your mic needs the recorder to provide a voltage, you're out of luck
with both solutions as the attenuator cable will affect the voltage and
the line level input doesn't provide a voltage.
In that case, the solution is to use an external power supply for your
mics (a "battery box"). Then use the attenuator cable or the line
input.
Hope this helps!
