I use two transformeners from the microphone to 1/4 inch plugs, and then a stereo adapter to the miniplug input on the Sony PCM M10.<br /><br />The external microphone works perfectly in this configuration. I use external power. but the M10 also has plug in power for some micrphones.<br /><br />Many people have criticised the built-in microphones as being flat sounding and lacking stereo seperation. I have not found this to be the case. To my ear, the muilt-in microphones are fine. They are not angled at 90 degrees, but rather about 45 off axis, and so are kind of a close-spaced ORTF variation. I use the external pro microphone I have, but the internal microphones do not pale in comparison. <br /><br />All in all, the Sony PCM M10 is an ideal field recorder, and far quieter and better sounding than any of its competition.Kennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1164996683602462088.post-31527820450994795832010-09-29T20:23:32.972-04:002010-09-29T20:23:32.972-04:00Hi there...

I plan to use this Sony recorder with an external mic (K6 Sennheiser ME67) and was wondering if you can handle recording volume manually with the wheel while using an external mic as well...<br />thanks for the input!<br />Diego.
