 Could it be that the mike is not getting enough power?

The mic runs of a single AA cell, which I replaced before we started.

 When my battery gets
 low in my battery box with my AT853 mikes, there is a lot of hiss. When I
 replace the battery, they are very quiet. Is the mike plugged into the
mike
 input of your R55, or is it coming from a mixer?

It's going through a basic converter box that changes the 3.5mm miniplug
into two 6.35mmm mono jacks and these are going into a mixer which feeds DAT
and MD. I've not had a problem with mixer hiss with ths mixer before, but
then I've never recorded anything this quiet before either..

 Other than that, you may
 need a different mike.

 -- Martin

I'll try a different mixer or try without one altogether, but I think you
may be right - I need to try to borrow a much better mic... or better still
a few...

Thanks

Maybe a battery box would help? I assume you're using a short mic
cable, is that the case? If you're using a long unbalanced cable, you can
take lot of noise...

Excerpt from original post:

 wonderful machine. As a backup recorder I have my R55. Mics are a
 problem - we have one Sony PSM-437 mic which gives a reasonable sound,
 except for one quite loud problem. hiss. I wondered if anyone had
 any techniques that may help me to reduce the hiss from this mic.

No optical out - no outs at all!  Just a headphone jack.  But a great

anyone know the ATRAC version of the this Aiwa CSD-MD50?

MD: Odp: European Prices of MT821

2000-02-13 Thread Maciej Rutkowski


Hi,

 I am in the market for a Sharp MD-MT821 and have seen it for about £176
 here in the UK (also £190 inc. 9 MDs) and was wondering what the prices
 are in the rest of Europe, especially France, Germany and Switzerland.

I bought mine for 600DM in Germany (about 210£) with no MDs, just the
optical cable, cinch, etc...

MD: MDS-JA20ES weirdness

2000-02-13 Thread Francisco Jose Montilla


Hi,

I'm experiencing some weirdness with this unit regarding Control
A1, track marking and TOC writing. I use (following the manual) to
activate the "megacontrol" on it (It's hooked to a CDP-CX57 50+1 CD
caroussel via S-Link Control-A1) to make random recordings to a MD for
later listening on my car.

I was assured that the S-link cable, although Sony specify a mono
one, could be stereo. I'm using a stereo one, and it _seems_ to be
working. Nevertheless, it sometimes "hangs" when I try to turn megacontrol
off, and have to switch both CD caroussel and MD deck completely off to
return to a sane state. Don't know if this happens due to the stereo cable
or what... 

Second, when recording those random playlists, almost everytime a
disc is changed in the caroussel, a silent 5 sec track is recorded on the
MD while the change is in progress. I obviously can delete those tracks,
but apart from being an annoyance, It seems (have read that also
somewhere) that deleting little tracks don't free really the space for its
use. Anyway, what's the S-link for then?

The third odd thing is that sometimes, when it's time to do a TOC
update, the unit hangs forever with "TOC writing" blinking on its display.
I have waited even hours for it to finish, so I'm almost sure it's hanged.
There is a turnaround though: I switch off power by unplugging it, and
when switched on again, it "recovers" the TOC to the correct state. 

Any opinions?

greets,

 does anybody know if it has optical out?
-- I bought it from JR and doesn't have any outputs (except for
headphone output). I actually like it. Jog Dial is the worst I have
ever used, but I don't really use it that much. Remote does some of
what the jog dial is supposed to be used for but better. Q-Surround and
8 watts per channel fills a small bedroom with sound really nicely and
features like timer recording and play allow me to record radio
programs (in theory) and use it as a big (and expensive) alarm clock
(in practice).
