Hi,
I wanted to use my Sony ECM-MS957 prosumer condenser mic with my D5100, but end up with very bad quality. I tried to compare the specs of the mic to those of the Nikon ME-1, but Nikon does not supply much information.
The Sony mic requires "plug in power" (but doesn't say the voltage). It also uses an internal 1,5v AA battery. It has 600 ohm impedance, and sensitivity similar to the ME-1 (-42 dB).
Anyone knows the voltage supplied by the mic-port of the D5100? Or impedance of the ME-1? Should I go for a preamp?
Any assistance in diagnosing the problem would be highly appreciated.
Best regards
