[QUOTE="Thedspeth, post: 612981, member: 44350"] what kind of microphones are you going to use? The DS 30 looks like it has an ambient microphone to record whatever is in the room... You could use something like [URL="http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-BEH%20MX400?SRC=D0407FG0HAMS0000&utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=feed&"]this[/URL] and it will give you 4 inputs. Your microphones would have to be "dynamic" meaning they don't need external power. I don't know how much you know about microphones but some microphones get power from a mixing board (phantom power)... and some don't need to get power from the mixing board... these are called "dynamic." Obviously, something small like I put in the link doesn't have the ability of "Phantom power".. hence needing a "dynamic" mic. The most common one is an Shure SM58. That's for music, though. I'm not sure about interviews. [/QUOTE]
