Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2004 12:32:52 +0100 I get a feeling people don't read the excellent material that exists on the FAQ about microphones and recording through mics. It covers everything I needed to know except contact information to someone who could help me solder a mic amp together ;-) (anyone willing to make some bucks...?) Check it out: http://rockbox.haxx.se/docs/faq.html Scroll down to Question #63 /Svante >It's not so much a _powered_ mic that you need, but actually an >_amplified_ mic - there is a difference! Most microphones, including >powered electret type mics produce quite a low power output, whereas a >regular line level is much higher. This is why many sound hardwares (e.g. >computer sound card, hifi etc) have separate mic and line inputs. The >Archos jukebox only has the one line level input, so the output from most >mics must be amplified to bring it up to line level. > >Nathan Gray said: >> 'lo rickboxers: >> This is a follow-up to my previous post about using line-in feature. >> What's the best option for recording using a JBR or FM? >> >> <I looked through the archive but couldn't find my answer> >> I imagine powered microphones are needed because the signal from an >> unpowered mic are below the levels able to be picked up by the >> recorders. >> >> I'm not looking for names of brands of devices here.
