What mics, specifically? This module,
http://www.naiant.com/pfaspecification.html which Kim posted about
last week looks promising to support mics that require PIP powering.
If you want to use mics that have built-in batteries that do not seem
to be XLR/phantom-powering compatible, let us know which mics. It
depends a bit on whether you can turn the FR2-LE's phantom powering
off which I'd have to look up.

Not if the connection is good. Of course, in your example, any
"static" from a poor connection would only affect monitoring, not
the recorded signal. Rob D.
