Hi guys,
I plan on building a second rig which will consist in :
* a pair of 4.7k modded omnis
* a battery-box w/bass roll-off filter
* a second-hand iriver H320
For now, I don't want to spend alot of cash but I'm curious about experiencing a 2-sources matrix.
Using omnis requires the use of a bass roll-off filter (at least for the kind of music and venues I plan to tape).
Considering the 4.7k mod is "lowering the sound" and the battery-box has no volume knob, I thought I could plug it mic-in.
But :
* will the mics be powered by the battery-box or by the recorder using mic-in ? (the iriver is second hand; so is the internal battery...)
* will the bass roll-off filter be active using mic-in ?
Will I get honorable results using line-in ?
I'll certainly have to crank up the recording level on the iriver way above the unity gain... Don't want to get additional noise or a muddy or kind of muffled/distant sounding tape.
I know using a preamp will solve the problem, but I'm short on cash.
EDIT : I just found out the iriver h320 has no mic input... I'll keep that thread up because my question can still be relevant for other recording devices.
What are the chances I can put up an honorable recording using line-in with 4.7k modded mics and a single battery-box ?
