Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2003 09:05:25 +0000 I believe it's possible to purchase what's known as a "powered microphone", which is one that amplifies the signal to levels sufficient for a "line-in". A regular microphone, does not produce the levels neccasary for line-in. If you find a good/cheap one, let me know! mat -----Original Message-----From: Nathan Gray <sanguination_at_hotmail.com>To: rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se>Sent: 07/11/2003 04:33Subject: Preferred recorder battery:performance Settings was: recording suggestionsAlong theses lines I was wondering the following two things with regard to recorders: > >A better solution is to use line-in with an external mic. > What kind of microphones work with the line in? Do they have to be powered? (My pc microphone didn't do anything). and >IMHO, recording at high quality with the built-in mic is a waste of time. >The mic isn't good enough to support that quality. You'll probably get >similar results at Quality 3 or 4 with 44.1 KHz, and longer battery life. What are your best preferred recording settings that give best battery life:performance ratio for the following situations: *Lectures/conversations *Videos/movie *concerts *ambient/environment noise *any others you can think of! -nathan _________________________________________________________________ Compare high-speed Internet plans, starting at $26.95. https://broadband.msn.com (Prices may vary by service area.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Life's just a mood ring we're not allowed to see."
