MD: balanced lo-Z mono to mini-stereo problems

1999-08-23 Thread Edward Gosfield III
Hi I am trying to use my AKG C451 with my Sharp 702. The 702 has a stereo mike input via mini-plug. The AKG cord is currently terminated as a balanced stereo phono plug, pin-1 to tip, pin-2 to ring, ground shield to sleeve. This worked fine on my Tandberg R-R which has balanced mike inputs.

MD: ? Non 'Direct Power' Microphones for Sharp 702

1999-07-30 Thread Edward Gosfield III
Hi I'm new to the list, have cruised the archives, FAQ, links, etc. and have a question about the Sharp 702 i am waiting for. The instruction manual (on line) specifies that microphones used with this machine should be direct power types. I have some standard mikes (AKG D200, C451, Sennheiser
