I have one, but it is finicky. Definitely a "high-maintenance/high-reward" relationship.
The free battery pack is available from Korg if you buy from an authorized retailer:
http://www.korg.com/services/promotions/MR1/MR1_coupon.pdfThis takes 4 AA batteries. There are other options available too.
The levels are very easy to adjust while recording. It is done with a dial on the side of the unit, just push the dial in and rotate it up or down.
The mic inputs are 1/8 mono jacks that can be balanced or unbalanced. They supply 3V of power. I am not sure if this is enough for DPA4060, and not only that, but don't they require special adapters?
Okay few questions to users, I think I'm nearly sold on this, id be comfortable using an ext. power source....
Where can the external battery adapter/supply piece be ordered from?
How is the headphone out, levels easily adjustable while recording?
Does this supply plug-in power to run 4060/61 mics?
