Hi Jez,
Darn, I did not make you say "ha!"
>From your descriptions there are likely two things going on. There is somet=
hing different between the R-44 and your other recorders, and also there is=
something different between your DPA4060 and your other mics. The the prob=
lem arises only when the two are combined.
I know very little about recording equipment electronics except what I have=
gleaned from this group. So this is just a wild guess: sometimes (only som=
etimes) microphone cables are grounded to the xlr connector housings, and s=
ometimes this creates a problem.
Pardon me, I can't help it, here an even better attempt to make you say, "h=
a!"
Do your DPAs use aluminum shielding?
Just kidding, or course.

bad. My main recorder is a Sound Devices, so this isn't intended to match t=
hat, but it's ok for the price - IF I can sort out this issue with the DPA'=
s connected to it.
