There is a port that takes XLR -or- 1/4". [ATTACH=full]209455[/ATTACH]I found some information that helped. The ambient mics use 'plug-in' power, which is about 5 volts. (XLR uses 48V phantom power.) So I had to buy an adaptor that not only changed 3.5mm to XLR, but also converts 48V to 5V. (Not sure if I can DIY-make a plug like that, but I can buy one for $14, so that'll do!)[USER=60]@Caleb Dueck[/USER] - Thanks for your suggestion. I looked into that.. Luckily I found another option. I was a little reluctant to go with multiple USB mics because that seems to leave more troubleshooting to the user. (That is, they might have to select multiple settings on the laptop - whereas analog mics are a little more plug & play (once you figure out how to hook them up. )
