Shure Mic

[Groundy]

I have been asking about plug in mics  I cant get the same effects that I get with the built in mic, I thought it was because it was'nt a condenser mic,so I contacted Boss apparently you cant get the same effects with a plug in ,so they tell me . I can get the effects that I get when mastering, but cant get the delay1 delay2 etc that I get with the built in Mic, I assume this is right?         Alex

Boss told you wrong. Any of the effects are available on any of the inputs. When you select an input (GTR/MIC/LIN/EXT), the Micro BR defaults to the corresponding patch bank. But this is just for convenience. You're free to use any patch bank you like. Just press the [EFFECTS] button, then move the cursor to the far left and use the -/+ buttons to change the patch bank.

The default patch bank for the EXT input (external mic) is EX, which normally contains the same patches as the Mastering Tool Kit patch bank. The default patch bank for the internal mic is MC. So, to get the same effects as you would use with the internal mic, simply change the patch bank from EX to MC as described above.

I thought it was because it was'nt a condenser mic

Actually, a mic with PlugIn power IS a condenser mic. It's just that the condenser (capacitor) and power source are in the recorder rather than in the microphone case. See http://www.telinga.com/pipwp.htm
