B.t.w. - it says in the manual that you must use the mains power supply
when you connect the R-1 to the USB, so they probably know about the low
battery problems.

I tested Telinga PRO5W with Stereo DATmic and EM23 PIP with the Edirol R-1=
and the noise I heard was mic noise. So the mic preamp is okay. The PRO5W
gives a lot of power from a low impedance source, but the EM23 is more
"normal".
