Anyone used the Line In function successfully? On the DR-05 it says it does line in but reviewers note that the input is too hot, just works for mics.

I use the line in function all the time. The first time though... yeah, it was too "hot" but that was before I used the level input on the unit to decrease the input volume. So now it works just fine.

No, the line input is suitable for line-level signals. To connect microphones in the line input a pre-amplifier is required. Better to use the XLR inputs with a cable adapter for 3.5mm plug.

Is that microphone jack stereo or mono? Does it provide "phantom power" to a microphone? &gt;If it does, you probably can't use that jack for any other device. Does the RCA - to - 1/8" adapter have a stereo (3-contact) or mono (2-contact) 1/8" plug? &gt;Some mono ones are made with red and white insulators (or other mixed colours), which makes them APPEAR to be the same as the stereo ones. If any part of the connecting arrangement is "mono", you won't get the "correct" sound from the turntable, and it is possible that you would get no sound. Also, check to see if there is an input-level adjustment (it would be an on-screen control); if there is one and it is set at or near its minimum, little or no signal will get into the "konfuzer". I would prefer that a LINE-level input was provided; but I believe some microphone inputs are set up so that they can be selectively switched to accomodate line-level signals. You may need to consult someone locally who can investigate the settings on your specific laptop. &gt;Line level is about 100 times the voltage of a microphone's output, and it will overdrive a microphone stage. Another possibility is: The signal going into the microphone jack probably can't be passed to the speakers directly. If it was so connected, you would have a defacto "P.A. system", and laptops are not known for having that function. In any event, the correct setting of the AT-PL120's output switch is "LINE", which will apply the necessary RIAA frequency equalization. If all else fails, instead of connecting the turntable to the laptop, use a pair of powered speakers that have their own volume control, a boombox with an auxiliary input, or any normal stereo system until you have the laptop matter figured out.

I would say that if it does not work it could be a problem with the mic or the audio system tha is connected to. The mic has a some options or buttons that you might need to play with but those are just to choose what type of mic will be used. Sorry i DON'T have more, it should work just fine, the power is given by the audio system amp. Do you have an amp?

I haven't tried a passive signal to the instrument input. Samson states this must be a "line level" signal. I'm not a sound expert, but I don't think passive signals are of "line level". However, one could use a simple signal booster, or processor, in-line to the mic input to achieve adequete signal strength if needed. If you didn't want, or need, signal seperation between your vocals & instrument...you could always play & sing directly into the mic without plugging in. Makes for a much easy mix down too since you don't have two mono signals, (guitar on left, vocals on right) to tie together into a common stereo bus.

All the sampling rate numbers are for the USB digital input. If you use XLR then it's an analog input and would be sampled at the rate of your A-D that you plugged the XLR into. Hope that helps clarify. It's a great mic, but you need to figure out how to position it. It's best not to point it up or sideways directly or towards any other source of noise. There are a few youtube videos showing the best way to position it. I ended up getting a wind screen to prevent popping.

Im no expert but this does have a mic input that you can use, I use it and it worked out fine once I figured out how to connect everything...what helped me was I did a search for this model to find out the how's and what's-- it would be capable of. They also have a website which if you google the model you can find loads of info that will be helpful, thats how I did my research, good luck hope my answer helped you out

Yes, it has a mic input and a line input. See video here http://www.rolandus.com/products/details/1077I have never used it in that manner however so I can't vouch for that. I'm not sure what size the jack is for the input so you may want to check that out further but there is an option for "line in." The mics on this unit are good so you could also record your meetings in real time just with the mics. Hope that helps.

ive experimented with running my mic through my pedal board for recording and it seemed to work fine however I prefer to use the reverb settings from the recording program. I cant see why it wouldnt work live but like the other guy said, you would need to use 1/4'' cable for your microphone.

You need 'line level' not 'mic level' inputs on the PC, otherwise the signal will be way too strong and, thus, distorted (mic output is much lower than line output). Most basic PCs, especially laptops, have 'mic in' and not 'line in' (the laptop I'm typing this on right now doesn't even have a 'mic in'). If you have a soundcard with 'line in' inputs, then you could do it. Having said all that, it might be possible to adjust the signal with Audacity using 'mic in', so that it doesn't distort, but I am guessing. I just know from using Cakewalk (precursor to Sonar) in the old days that it didn't work like that. You could try it and report back on your experience, good or bad.

That clicking is the boot process (I believe), it doesn't have a XLR plug, just has a small mic hole. It needs to be near lots of sound/bass to work. It seems to learn, from my experience, so leave it on for a bit and it will pick up the beats.

NO, in-line mic will not work. (unit mic only)headphones minus mic, mono/stereo, will still work. (no point in using both together)

There's a "Line In" jack but there's no "Mic" jack on this speaker. There's actually no input jacks on the front of this speaker, they are located on the right side and the back of the right side.

I have emailed with Roland on how to use the 2 channels that are digital only. They say people interface it with a digital recorder and or adigital based mixer. Roland should have just put in 4 analog input rather than this lesser strategy of only 2 audio ins/out.

Actually, i was wrong in my last post. I do not have this unit. Sorry. No, it does not line into your computer. It is a phantom power unit that provides power to run 2 condenser microphones. However, I have had great success with m-audio's fast track. You CAN linethe fast track system into the computer. It's simple. I've used it for years.

I'm trying now with QC 15 and all sound is good however the in-line mic does not work so sad :/ the prob appears to be the configuration of the in-line bose remote/mic when I press volume up it registers as the mic on the ps4. Rewiring a 3.5 mm Jack with the Mic would solve this issue

This isn't what I thought it would be so I haven't used it much. BUT, when I plug a mic into the line in, it doesn't work. I've gone through it to see if I have to tell it to use the line in and from what I can tell, it should be using it but I can only get the onboard mics to pic up sound. I have a TASCAM GB10 for my guitar and that thing kicks ass. I thought this was going to be another version of that but there's no guitar input as stated.As far as capacity it's all up to how much space you load into it. You use SD cards so if you put in a 2GB, I highly doubt you're going to record a set. So just get as big of a card as possible. This isn't what I thought it would be so I haven't used it much.
