Well i tried it and it 'works' but i'm not happy with the sound.
I had to crank up the gain almost all the way to get a decent signal,
and it sounded kind of 'tin'-ey.


What mike are you using?


Oktava MK012A-MSP Matched Pair


Measure phantom voltage under load and make sure it's more than 35V or so..

Those mikes are very touchy about phantom supplies, and won't work with
anything that is out of spec. *Also, they drive only one leg of the output
which is normally no problem but might be an issue with some weird preamp
topology.

how in heavens do i measure that? i do have a voltmeter??
Here's an example of what i got with the tascam. Of course with a
little reverb added.
I found that i could only get a decent sound close miced. I usually
use an ORTF placement about6 in from 12-fret.
Anyway... hope this works, a little Bartok piece. The focusrite
sounded worse than this.
