What makes you think that it won’t work with a Zoom thingy? If you’re that nervous then get a mixer to put in front of the recorder. Look for a used Sound Devices MIX PRE, it will do the job just fine.

What exactly are you going to record? Your budget is the limiting factor in your choice of mics and quite honestly the RE-50 will do everything you require.

Theres nothing below 100hz that you need for dialog. Everything below 100hz is “mud”. Don’t sweat it. The high out put version is a very good choice, it means you do’t have to turn up the gain as much to get a reasonable level. Run do not walk and get the RE-50. If EV offers a long handle version then get that also.

Get an Electrovoice RE-50. It’s the de facto standard for hand held interviews. Will also work well for table/desk/lectern mounting. About $160.

In what? As long as the track stays in sync then I would say no.

“This is the XLR connector. I’ll see if it’s possible to open it up.

The mini connector is a TRS. Unscrew the outer barrel and see how many wires are connected and where. On the XLR, unscrew the boot and pull the cable to get the connector out so you can see what wires are where. If you have 3 wires on both ends going to 3 seperate points you don’t have an unbalanced connection.

Some electret condenser mics can run on a wide range of voltage. True condensers require 48vp +/- 4v. Think of it like cars that can run ok on any grade of fuel while others require premium fuel for best performance.

I wasn’t sure in the mic had a battery. Now it could be that the xlr to 1/8″ cable is not wired properly. Open the XLR end and see how many pins have wires attached to them. If only two pins have wires check to see that pins 1 & 3 are connected together, also if possible open the 1/8″ connector and see if there’s 2 or 3 wires attached. If the 1/8″ is a TRS then there should only be a connection to the shield/ground and the tip/positive. If you had an ohm meter you could do a continuity test. Open them up and report back.

Don’t you mean NTG-3?
