Sorry for a very newbie question, but if you wanted to connect a pair of DPA 4060 to the PCM-D50, how would you go about it?
Thanks

Mic-in/line-in for the D50 is a single stereo mini, so your mics need to be terminated as such. I think Chris Church could build you a 9100 pre to power those mics however they are terminated.
I tried to find out how they are terminated and it seemed to be "microdot". I have no idea what that is. Anyway, anyone who has them, what would be needed to adapt them to the D50? And, are you saying a preamp? Or, what is this 9100 pre? And how much does it cost?
Thanks

OK so I have done more searching on this forum and seems like Church Audio's ST-9100 is perhaps better than the DPA MMA6000 for using the DPA 4060 to the
PCM-D50, right? From what I've read it seems it is smaller, cheaper and same sound quality. That's good news. One thing I don't understand though, is
why do we need to use a preamp? Is it because this preamp is better than the one in the PCM-D50? And then, if the PCM-D50 is expensive (relatively) because it has a good preamp, if we are going to use this 9100 preamp why not use it with a recorder with no preamp (if there is such a thing) to save space and money?
Another question is, what about the
UGLY? CA website is not functioning so it is difficult for me to really understand about these things. Seems like the UGLY will have the same sound but cheaper still?
So would it be the UGLY I would want? Then, if so,
would it be better to get the pre to take microdots, or get the mic ends changed to a more standard end so I can use the pre with other more standard mics? And any idea how long the UGLY (or 9100 if that is a better choice)'s batteries will last in this setup?
Then there's the "High End Binaural microphone (HEB) set". More confusion... is that something I should be worrying about? (More closely matched etc.)
I realise I have asked a lot of questions at once. Thank you all for your patience.
