Sorry if my questions are laughable at times...
I am getting a Battery Box (never used one before) and some CA-11's.
I won't have enough time to test this setup before I tape THE show it's intended for.
I don't want any surprises.
I have never used my line-in jack...on a Sony Minidisc MZ-R50.
Could there be any overload or problem using plug-in power jack plus the BB?
I am half-blind in my procedures. All I know is my player has an automatic limiter that keeps sounds from clipping.
I have never adjusted anything on it. I just plug in and go.
DO NOT use the limiter, or your recording will be ruined.
I believe MD decks (some) have different plug-in power than the old DATs did or the Edirol R-09 has.. but the safe thing to do, and what everyone will tell you, is use the line-in.
Is this a rock (or at least, amplified) concert? If it is a quiet, non-amplified type thing sometimes you can or even should use the plug in power.
But generally, again, the rule is, line-in. AND DO NOT USE THE LIMITER. Those aren't really made for recording music - more useful for voice.
