Microphone recommendations
Professional condenser microphone(s) (which require additional
power from either the PMD620MK II ’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.
