  Lavalier Mic with portable recorder?

  Posted by Eric Marx on December 10, 2007 at 7:27 pm

  Hi,

  I have an iriver ifp-799 and want to use it with a lavalier mic since it has a 1/8″ mic input (not just line).

  Can anyone tell me whether a Countryman EMW with a 1/8″ (3.5mm) connector will work with this? The EMW seems to be designed for wireless systems.

  If not, are there any other high-end lav mics you could recommend that would work for recording conversations in noisy environments?

  Thanks,

  Eric

  The Countryman (and most other pro-level mics, condenser-types) require battery power (1 volt, or so) to operate.

  Wireless transmitters provide that power on their inputs.
  A portable recorder (iRiver, in this case) will likely NOT provide this, unless it specifically says so.
