Microphone recommendations
Professional condenser microphone(s) (which require additional power from either the PMD620MKII’s phantom power or from another source) are recommended because they provide greater sensitivity and higher quality audio recording.
Dynamic microphone(s) can be used, but they do not yield optimum audio quality recordings in some applications.
Consult with your local dealer to select the appropriate microphone(s) for your specific application. In many cases, they can demonstrate the various performances and characteristics of microphones for your use.
