Mic to 60 Rec In?

By thedailyhustle Tue Apr 10, 2007 7:14 pm
I dont have a mic, so I cant test it myself. But is possible to plug a mic directly into my 60II's rec in jack to sample my drum set? Without the use of a mic preamp, etc?

It would work but u would have to turn the RECORD GAIN all the way up to get a good enough signal going. I highly recommend u use a mixer or preamp to run the mic through then run that mixer or preamp to the RECORD IN on your MPC. U will have way more control over the overall sound going in.

I'm going to guess that the line ins are LINE level.

Not MIC level. So you should use a preamp.

The 60 has a switch on the back for gain: low mid hi. Hi will work with mics. Low is for line level sources, and mid is for ... uh... medium shyt...

so yes you can plug a mic in. But you would still be better off running your mic into a mixer or preamp first.

I didn't recognize that YEARS ago when I played with one, thanks for the correction, and sorry for the confusion Mr. Hustle.

HAHA, he said "input".
