Hello,
I have just joined this group and would like to introduce myself.
I am a yoga teacher from Ireland, and own a Sony minidisc MZ-RH1 which
i have used in the past to record my yoga classes and burned onto CD
for my students.
So far i have only used a Sony ECM MS907 placed in a Mic stand about
10 inches from my mouth, and have recorded in a very quiet
environment. And have been amazed at the really good quality with
minimal or no self noise.
I have just spotted a chart which probably explains why the MS907
works so well with the RH1, but i don't understanbd it yet ;-)

My current areas of interest and motivation in joing this group is
that I am now hoping to find a mic i can attach to my t-shirt when
teaching a class and feed into the RH1 minidisc.
Needs to have minimal self noise, and this is what led me to your forum.
There are many pauses and periods of complete silence during a typical
teaching of a gentle yoga or meditation class. Any Lavaliers i have
used previously have quite bad hiss or self noise and when i use noise
removal in Audition, it either affects the voice, or does not remove
the hiss sufficiently to what i would like.
And i am hoping the frequency response will be reasonaly flat to
achieve a 'life-like' recording.
Now considering a stereo setup using two Shure WL183 mics.
I am also looking for a larger mic which will give improvements in
quality over the ECM907, and am considering a Rode NT1-A or an AT2035.
Hopefully to find a mic which can record very good human voice in a
quiet environemnt, but also one which could be used outdoors in
Nature. Again to be used with RH1 either with or without a portable
phantom power supply.
An other area i would really like to record is the surrounding nature
where i live. This would include bird song, streams, waves breaking,
small waves lapping on the beach.
So i have enjoyed reading about parabola mic setups, the apparently
amazing Telinga mic, and self noise, good phantom power supply which
won't introduce noise, and much more.
I am only learning about the downfalls of Auto Recording levels, and
Automatic Mic Gain, and am hoping that much of the hiss i heard
previously was due to these settings. I am on holidays and don't have
my RH1 to check or experiment with.
I use Adobe Audition 1.0 (upgraded from the old Cool Edit), but
consider myself a beginner as i have only used very few functions
within this tool.
Looking forward to learning more, and thanks for the help i have
received so far.
Best Wishes,
Dave
