Tks a lot to everyone...Will_S did an excellent explanation with all alternatives.
I want phantom power for those mics to try...then if i am not satisfied i'll move to CA preamp.
and there's not a lot of room to work inside a mini-XLR connector, so it might be better to leave that to someone experienced if you are not.
That's right, and i don't want to blow my mics...taping is an hobby and i am not experienced in electronics at all....
I would not recommend PS-2>iRiver unless you exclusively record really loud material
- I tape exclusively very very loud shows, then PM4>PS2>iHP120 could be good ....I'll try this, I think.
OR, I have to find a mixpre with a raisonnable price.
Tks to everyone, one more time
