What type or brand of plug in microphone works best on this tape deck?
941161
This unit has a 1/8" mic input, and works well with both handheld units that I tried with it. Results will depend more on the voicing of the microphone that is selected than on the brand of the microphone. I've been using relatively inexpensive Nady Starpower mics for years, and they performed well with these machines with the appropriate adaptor. The quality of construction is good on the decks, so the plugs tend to stay inserted, and don't fall out like they did with a lesser machine that I tried first. I have been very impressed with the solid feel of the jacks and the controls on this machine.

The recorder works fine with its built-in microphone. A plug-in mike works OK too. The mike plug in the recorder is a round hole, 1/8 inch in diameter.

Note that the microphone ports on the side are two XLR plugs. Any professional mic will work. I got exceptional results with RODE NTG-2 and NTG-3 on a boom. Sennheiser lavs sounded good but the noise floor had a bit of hiss that was not present using the boom microphones. I find my results with the recorder are getting better and better as I get to know it.

I have no idea as I only use this for Tape decks and phonographs with RCA connectors

I remember it is RCA plug, it would be easier if you use a female to female coupling(around $2 @ RadioShack) then you connect a longer RCA cable and see if it works. I returned my unit after one week because of loud hum when microphone is plugged in.

I am not sure I checked the plugins and it worked on the 3 different types of cameras I have. The audio is not the greatest now so I bought some exterior mics and put them on the lines which worked out pretty good. Still am noticing a humming sound in the sound.

I use a Audio-Technica AT875R Short Shotgun Microphone with XLR plug. But, you would not be limited to any particular mic. Whatever mic you get will probably come with a clamp with a 5/8" thread which screws into this boom pole. I use this rigging for sound in the field.

Try radio shack, the mic jack is probably similar to headsets and should be easy enough to locate.

Please forgive me....I MEANT WALMART, online.. they have the Pyle Pro PPMIK Dynamic Microphone @ $10.87, along with a couple of other brands! I'm ordering an extra, myself.

Any pack with XLR will work. I have used it on 3 different brands of mike packs

Works with either XLR or 1/4" cables. There's also a "cd/tape in" using phono plugs.

How many amps does the tape deck use? I'll need to calculate the wattage for you.

The DP-008 has XLRs with phantom power, so you can just plug your condenser mics right into it.

Look into the Focusrite Scarlett series. The pre-amps are great, and it puts out up to 24 bits/96 kHz. If you're going to be recording at home, make sure to get some basic treatment for better monitoring. Good luck:)

Hi Nolan, this mic uses the standard 3.5 mm stereo mini plug and works on all kinds of vocals. -Ely

I can not answer for that particular brand, but it does come with a mic and if it has a standard plug, I see no reason why it would not work.

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.
