Hi, I've got a Kodak Zi8 which has an external connection for a microphone. This connection is powered (although a lot of people say it is not powered) as I have been using an electret mic through it.
I have been recording pub bands with the zi8 and most of my recordings are clipped (audio). I have the mic settings on the zi8 set at the lowest setting.
With a lot of reading I have found out that if I power my mic through an external battery box, the mic is less likely to clip when exposed to loud music.
My question is, can I use a battery box (most of them work with a 9v battery) in conjunction with the zi8 without damaging it?
TIA.
