Rode microphones have an excellent reputation particularly because they give very high quality for their price.
However, with the Plextalk PTR1 and 2 you do need to watch out for mics which are very sensitive - as they tend to overload the mic preamps of the PTR 1 and 2. This even happens if you lower the mic input volume. Rode mics (spelt R O D E) could well be very sensitive. One thing is fort certain, ikf the internal mic is as bad on the PTR1 as it is in the PTR2, you need an external mic urgently. Sony mics may be a good starting point, they aren't necessarily top-shelf quality, but they do seem to pair quite nicely with the PTRs.

It records best what is in front of it and rejects sounds from the sides and back of the microphone. What type of things will you be recording? You might not want a microphone so directional On Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:50:19 +0200, =?iso-8859-1?Q?Andr=E9_van_Deventer?= wrote: >Hi all > >Does anyone know anything about this specific microphone?
