Hi Rob and James,
thanks a lot for your helpful answers! :-)
Actually I had first considered the Zoom h4n, as replacement for my hi-md,
but then I'm now more convinced about the LS11 or the sony d50. And, if I'm
not wrong, they both only have 3.5 jack inputs.
Then I think that if I buy now a better mic and a 48v power pack, I could
use them in the near futureas well, when I'll buy the new recorder.
Thanks for the suggestion about the AT4022, Rob; but here in Germany, where
I leave in this period, the price of it is more than the double of the Rode
NT-1A

and in this moment I have not enough budget to efford it.
So, following your suggestions, I think I would go for NT-1A + ART Phantom
II Pro (I could not find the "III" in Germany) and a cable like that one
you, Rob, suggested to me.
Thanks a lot again, and have a nice Sunday :-)
Ric.
