thanks for this !
it comes as a surprise that the DPA adaptors aren't doing the job - it'll b=
e interesting to see what they have to say about this issue.
in case they can't come up with anything does anyone have a suggestion for =
a different adaptor for the DPA4060's ?
oh & the Telinga stereo dat also picks up some digital noise !
I think for me the most worrying thing about all this is that if, apparentl=
y, ever other recorder manufacturer has managed to make their recorders wit=
h circuits that don't have these issues with the DPA's or the Telinga for e=
xample, then its strange that Roland can't do it too.
