Hi Max,
The LS-10 mic input is unbalanced. Such 3.5 mm stereo input sockets on
compact recorders are always unbalanced. Balanced XLR inputs are
usually only available on larger professional recorders (the M-Audio
MicroTrack is an exception).
See also http://www.avisoft.com/tutorial_mic_recorder_connection.htm
for details on how to connect a balanced microphone output to an
unbalanced microphone input.

Raimund
