Thanks Flawn.  That answers my question about using either the K6 OR the iR=
IG for Phantom power but not both.  I'll see which provides best audio and =
which eats battery less.

The only 'loud' songs I'm recording - whether I want to or not - are our lo=
cal, nesting robins, cardinals, house wren and carolina wren!  They end up =
as a 'voices' on ALL my recordings so far.  ;-)

I'm hoping the ME66 will at least help that situation.
