I just bought this recorder a couple of hours ago and plan on using it tonight. 90% of the time I will be using it will be strictly as a recording fed a coax signal from my mini me, but tonight I plan on using it analog with dpa 4061 mics.
I bought it because the store down the street sold it and I don't want to attempt to stealth my beat up nomad which has been begging to be retired. It doesn't appear you can switch from mic/line with the 1/8th connection is that true?
Should i be using the limiter when taping a loud show? other then these questions it seems pretty simple and straight forward.
oh I also found my -11db attenuator cable maybe I should just use that instead of the limiter? sorry for last minute questions i'm out of touch and just at the last minute decided to tape
I've run my mt2 analog via 1/8 via mics>batt box and the 1/4 with my mics> church pre. The self gain on the mt2 is very noisy past about 1/3, 1/4 of it's amplification. I would highly suggest running a small pre via the 1/4. You are correct that the 1/8 input is mic only. You may have some luck with sensitive mics via the 1/8 avoiding a lot of gain on the recorder.
Don't use the limiter. I run at943's > battery box > mic in...they're pretty sensitive little mics so I have never had to use more than about 10-15% of the MT2's gain...even recording quiet/acoustic stuff. I love my MT2 ;D
