alexbooy Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 hi all (and Tom Duffy), I just bought a Tascam DR 10 CH with Shure connectors. I want to use it stand alone, without transmitter. I tried it with a Shure WL93, but after switching the 'bias on/off' switch, to 'off' I only hear sound for a few seconds and then it is gone. I realise that it should be 'on'. Model is switched to 'Shure'. Any idea what could be wrong? the recorder and lav are new. battery too. Thanks, Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Reineke Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Most lavaliere mics typically need some kind of power (usually 3-5 volts bias current) Not to be confused w/ Phantom Power. I don't know if that recorder supplies the bias voltage directly or gets it from a wireless transmitter.. Try it with the bias 'on'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbooy Posted November 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Problem solved, When using the Shure adapter (CH), the 'model' mode must be in the 'Sennheiser' position instead of 'Shure' position (?). Best, Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 DR10 powers lavs itself just fine, even strange ones like Countryman, and even through adapters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
