Hello again!
I=B4m back with another amateur issue:-)
I recently purchased a PCM M10, and I=B4m currently using the EM172=B4s, wi=
ch I guess most of you are familiar with. I=B4ve been recording really quie=
t soundcapes,(no traffic for miles, mainly distant sounds etc.) with the th=
e mics feeding the recorder directly into the Mic-in on the M10. After some=
experimenting I figured maybe I could put my Mixpre-D in front of it, to s=
queeze out som more hiss-free dbs.
Been running the capsules from a stereo diy battery-box, (9v battery, 1 uf =
capacitor, 10k resistor), into the Mixpre, and the from the Mixpre-D (tried=
both the xlr=B4s and the tape-out). Tried both line-ins and mic-in here. I=
n these circumstances the hiss from the Mixpre comes apparent when dialed b=
eyond 12 o=B4clock.
I=B4ve tried calibrated the M10 to -20 from the tone-generator of the Mixpr=
e.
I=B4m starting to suspect that running the EM172=B4s directly into the mic-=
in on the M10, at low sensitivity and a bit of gain is as quiet I can come =
with this setup, leaving out the Mixpre all together. Anyone has any input =
or experience with this?
Any feedback appreciated!
Best
