No, Wes,
You are over thinking, “The Link” is simply the reciprocal end of the plug you now have on the B3 that ends in the XLR power supply on the other end. That way you can use the mic either way.

Hello Robin,
It is when you’re doing extemporaneous interviews and you have no idea what people will say. You send the time code stamped files to a transcription service and they type out what was said with time code so you can read whet they said, pick the ones you want and locate them on the source tape by using the time code.
The system works pretty well, but sometimes the best takes on paper don’t look so good on camera.

I recorded split audio/mp3 on my Sound Devices 744T for a client who asked for that. They wanted it for transcription purposes. I asked them about the compression issue and if they had done it before. He assured me they had. I did it as described before and got n complaints from them.

[Robin Probyn] “On a recent job we used a mini plug feed from the mixer into a consumer MP3 player.. to mic in.
The sound was very distorted,but ok for transcription at low volume… would that be a line to mic level problem? the player is consumer but was over $100.. so I think its a fairly good one..
Also there was a request for same time code as camera onto the MP3 audio… is there any way to do this with a consumer level player?”
Hello Robin and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.
Yes, you probably fed line level into a mic level input. There could also have been impedance problems and mono/stereo problems.
Tough one, but doable. Where’s the TC coming from? Can you pad it down to mic level? Then get some sort of Y cable to get TC on one input and mic level audio on the other. You want the TC to be lower in level; maybe -12. You’d need a mixer with a spare mic level output.
The Sony MZ100 Minidisc recorder can be adjusted from mic to -10, I think. I know it records at 44.1 16-bit.

Hello Wes and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.
Good answer, Rodney.
There are also two wire and three wire mics so what connects to what is important. With the B3 you can get “The Link.” That’s the reciprocal end of the plug you now have on the B3 that ends in the XLR power supply on the other end. That way you can use the mic either way.
You should be able to get that for the Sennheiser as well.

Hello John and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.
Sadly, there isn’t a lot you can do. I can only suggest that next time you use Sony MDR 7506 or Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones.

Welcome to the Cow Audio Forum Wes,
Will’s right. The only thing I have heard bad about in-ear monitors is a comment that they don’t deliver much low end. I don’t know. I haven’t tried them.
