Thanks Klas and Vicki. Just what I needed to know. Vicki pointed out that
mics use very little power and using the phantom power is the best way to
go. I've already had to set up an external battery supply for the Tascam,
so that is fine.
And lyrebird habitat is generally such dense forest that 50 metres of cable
is all I need to use.
One more question for Klas: I need to have the mic in place and connected
up as dawn breaks. If I put a thin plastic bag over it (in case of
unexpected rain or cloud drip) and leave it out overnight, am I risking
ruining the mic? (I guess I should be able to tell from listening whether
the bag affects the recorded sound.)
TIA
Syd
