Hello Joe,
You're right, it is not that simple using the Mic with the KN7000 because there was such confusion with this when the keyboard first appeared on the market, Technote covered this in their Workshop in the Techplus magazine (in 3 parts I think). If you you have any back issues, it might be worth looking up. Meanwhile, I have some back issues so when I get a minute, I'll look through them. I'll keep you posted on this one.
Bill's suggestion is a very good one, using the USB facility is a great idea. I find I am using it more and more for just about everything these days, particularly my digital camera.

Hi Joe, There are several Shure 'Unidyne' models - probably the most popular is the 545 which is indeed a Unidirectional type, as are all the 'Unidyne' models. The clue is in the name ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/smile.gif) I use a Sony Electret Mic directly into the Mic input on the KN7000 in conjunction with the KN7000's Mic Effects - usually a little Reverb - and have achieved very good results, when producing a CD. I hasten to add, that I was not singing - only playing the accompaniment for a vocalist friend. The recordings were made via USB and the Goldwave sound editor. When I had my own band back in the 60s/70s, we tried many different microphones, including Shure, Reslo, Beyer, AKG but we finally settled on the Sony Electrets. I like the Sony Mic because it produces a good all round sound - smooth bass and crisp treble, especially when using a 'close mic' technique and it also has excellent anti-feedback properties.

I tried it this way on the KN 7000, that is, I plugged a microphone into the elesis microverb and then the elesis microverb into line in on the KN 7000, I then took line out on the KN 7000 to my PC, my PC only picked up the KN 7000 but not my voice.
Joe, I vaguely remember that one of the imputes on the KN7 will sound out the speakers but not out the main outs. ??? There must be a logical reason – I think. Three things: 1-I have used a $428 Beyer mic. and a $40 cheap head set, both did an acceptable job. After much experimenting I was able to used the reverb in the keyboard. My best set up was when I used a Mackie mixer and sent the vocal, after making my settings to the mic. impute of the KN7. If I used a separate amp. My voice would still go to the keyboard because I wanted to hear the balance. (Monitor)
2-After making the settings for you mic. make sure you save them and then go to customizing and select the protection for your mic. settings.
3-When you record make sure you use ear phones, if you do not the mic. will pick up the sequence – ear phones will allow you to hear the balance of the recording.
There are at least 1,001 more ideas about recording. The best is to enjoy an experiment – Can you imagine my $40 head set sounding good.
