Hi there… I plan to use this Sony recorder with an external mic (K6 Sennheiser ME67) and was wondering if you can handle recording volume manually with the wheel while using an external mic as well…
thanks for the input!

The dynamic mic is the one that is making the hum, but most of the time you are more likely to be using condensder mics. I have to say that for the price, the preamps on the Sony M10 are far better than those on similar priced digital recorders. I have listed to every single sample on Whigfields site – and they use the mic splitter to record on several recorders at the same time so that the sound is consistent. I owned a Zoom H2 which is superb for bootlegging gigs and recoding louder music, but I record speech and a lot of silence, so the PCM M10 has massively better noisefloor samples with it's internal mics and condensers than nearly every other recorder for sale. Eclpised only by the huge D1.

on a sidenote i was intrigued by Transom's tests using the new omni condenser mic the Audio Technica 8010 – fairly good sound for the price and can be powered by AA battery or phantom. the mic is mentioned at the foot of their review of 3 Tascam units (which sound pretty mediocre imo in both Transom + Wingfield's tests): http://transom.org/?p=3266

love the feature additions but to my ears the onboard mics sound really flat, the ext dynamic mic sounds like sh*t and has a horrible hum (not sure what is meant by "3-way" splitter), the ext condenser mic sounds great but of course requires the power supply. quite different from the D-50 and D-1.
