2000+ hours or change for new after 2 - 3 years.

PA-10XP Mic Module for Microtrack & Zoom H4

UPDATE 3/18/2007

The MicroTrack & Zoom H4 decks will NOT

directly power DSM™ stereo-surround

microphones.

DSM mic powering requires at least in-series PA-

6 mic powering into Microtrack's limited gain 1/8" stereo

jack, or PA-10XP into Microtrack or Zoom deck's two 1/4"

TRS inputs.

PA-10XP also protects against accidental MIC damage

from applied phantom power ON/OFF feature of these

model decks. NOTE: Zoom H4

deck has dual balanced XLR mic level only input, BUT unbalanced 1/4" TS jacks are both

mic/line input for this deck.

Advanced DSM mic power is using active PA-24NJ-XP

preamplifier model for line level

input to most decks with TRS line level input ability. Also see: MT24/96

and ZOOM H4 deck

reviews

$280 USD (as

shown with

MiniXLR)

Powering adapters use either 1/8" minijack input of

MT24/96, or modified dual molded output plug into more

versatile dual TRS 1/4" mic/line input.

Dual balanced TRS input seems at least better

for advantage of deck's fullest mic level gain selections not

available on MT24/96 using minijack input.

Using TRS input gives far more versatility for recording of

pure acoustic sounds to very bass-loud music venue range.
