a different question:

I"m thinking of picking up a FR2-LE on ebay with
the huge discounts currently available...

and am curious how best to connect mics that
previously went straight into my MZ-RH1.

what's the best manner for connecting 3.5mm mini plugs
to the FR2-LE XLR/Combo input?


does using a mini to 1/4" adapter
(commonly used with headphones and such)
degrade the sound or increase noise?

thanks
