Akai GX-4000d reel to reel, problem!
May 10, 2010 Recording
Hi, I just got this Reel to reel tape recorder, it seems to work well exept I can’t find a mic that works with it. I know the impedance is 600 ohms so I tried several mics with that spec, with an on and off button though so maybe not dynamic as it should be, it doesn’t work, I mean if I puff or shout the Vu meters reacts but badly with a scratchy low sound. I read on the manuel that the mic should be 0,25mv wich is actually hard to find, I didn’t so far
