Hi.. I'm looking to use my 58A in conjunction with a portable Sony cassette deck, the TC-D5 Pro II. Anything to prevent me? Phantom power source?

Hi, this is a dynamic mic, so it doesn't need phantom power, just needs a balanced XLR cable and a place to plug it in!

Just make sure your connections mate up. The Beta 58 needs a XLR connector . It is a standard in Vocal Mics my opinion . I have been working sound for over 37 years and the owner of Guardian-Productions. Hope this helps , Oh yea No phantom needed.

It's supposed to be able to do high-speed dubbing, and that would be the main objective of two decks. I haven't tried that. I HAVE noticed two minor issues: (1) Some of my cassettes don't fit Deck A -- so I use Deck B for those! (2) At least one of the decks gives a very slight high-speed flutter which is only occasionally noticeable.

You can plug in one turntable and a cassette deck. An additional turntable would require an external phono preamp if you have an input available of which plenty are available.

Hi Doug,The portable unit is fairly self-contained. You'd probably need some kind of pre-amp.

You can use it wherever you want to use it; just keep in mind that the phantom power does not turn off. I can't use it with an sm58, but as long as I use a condenser mic, it's not a bad piece of gear.

Lokamaya, I haven't used any cassette players in the past 10 years. But I remember that they be powered by rechargeable NiMH cells just fine. Same thing with portable CD players. The small difference in voltages (between alkaline and NiMH) should not matter at all, because internally the motors are running off a regulated volatge. If you are having problems using NiMH cell in your players, then the root cause could be that your rechargeable batteries are suffering from reduced capacity. Try some Sanyo eneloop (or other good quality LSD cells) and you should see the difference.

I don't think so. Because this mic need 48V phantom power. Unless your cassette can provide the 48V power, otherwise it won't work. You can buy some phantom power device online, then you can use this mic with ordinary recorder.

57 and 57LC are the same mic. Supposedly the LC stands for "less cable" indicating that the non-LC model is supposed to come with an XLR cable. I've never seen it bundled as such. The 58 is technically the sameic capsule in a different body, so either one would work as well as the other. You don't really want either for a video production boom pole. That's the realm of a shotgun mic.

No idea but I doubt you could pull enough current out of a wall socket that would fry the unit. That said, I'd buy Panamax over monster though. Sound quality is un changed with Panamax. I'm using Panamax on two rotel systems and two mcintosh systems and doing blind side by side tests it was apparent in all four scenarios the monster product was changing the sound and not for the better. If your gear is upper end, spend the money and buy the Panamax 5300 for about $400. In fact, if you're A purist, buy both the monster and Panamax and compare the two and return the one you dont like. That's what I would do.. Let your ears be the judge. Hope this helps!!!

Hi David - thanks for the reply.My AV receiver would be close to the turntable, so the short length isn't an issue. Never thought much about cable capacitance though; interesting point although I believe a lot of hum can be attributed to ground loops from poor wiring or design. Anyway, I ordered the AT-LP120 directly from Beach Camera on Sunday. Still no sign of a tracking number. My order says pending. Has anyone dealt with Beach Camera directly? If so, how long did it take for them to ship out the order?

I have a cheap all-in-one receiver and a 1970's Phillips turntable. The sound was very dim, as you say. The TCC TC-753LC pre-amp did the trick. My old albums sound great with plenty of volume. Mind you, I don't have a high quality receiver and was just glad to get any sound out of the old turntable.

Just played a regular CD on my VocoPro 800. Works fine!Didn't play a cassette, but cassette is a main feature of the product. Should work fine.

A cloth dust cover is included. If you want to use this turntable through USB it should work for you.I wanted to use RCA connectors through my sound card but there is no pre amp so as far as I can tell it won't work like that. I know that wasn't part of your question but I wish I had known that in advance.

It depends on the amperage coming down the wire. Phantom Power is insufficient to drive the box, but anything above 16VDC will damage the unit. You can run condenser mics through the unit, so if you board is not pushing in excess of 16VDC you should be good. http://www.rolls.com/pdf/M_PM351.pdf

Your amp needs to be phantom power operable. Most P.A. Systems will have a phantom power switch to power the preamp. It's not so bad putting the 9v, you just have to unscrew the backplate and hook a battery in.

This device is not able to be used with phantom power, there is not a direct dc connection from input to output. Great isolation unit and used to connect mix match types of connectors. On each unit is a wiring diagram to aid in use of the unit. I use this unit frequently in solving audio wiring challenges. Bruce

the phantom power should be sufficient for your condenser mic. I wouldn't count on using this interface for anything more than a demo though.
