I bought 2 of them. They were $50 each time. I think I got mine from IRTI. But surprisingly, it was the same price every place I sought for it. The one I have does not have a battery; the static is the hinge thing. But forgive me if I'm stepping on the discussion. I do not follow it all. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Giles <diamondcowboy24@gmail.com> To: Plextalk User Discussion List <plextalk@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Date: Friday, May 30, 2014 4:58 pm Subject: Re: [Plextalk] microphones
Where did you get your stereo condenser Sony microphone and what was the cost

Hi Frank,
Thanks for that. I believe I have a Sony Electret Condenser (ECM) 219, which is clip-on to your belt or collar, and stereo. It's quite good, and 1 AAA (pen-sized Duracell battery-powered. (BTW, does the static you experience by any chance have to do with the failing battery? In that case, you would put in a new one, or have somebody put in a new one (since it may not always be straightforward to do). But I'm thinking there would be mikes with more power than the above, and that'd give good � perhaps stereo � audio as well. I have a good, older, ECM909 that went well with a sony Walkman pro tape-recorder; but it's not as good on the plexTalk. I also have another mic, broadcast quality good, but not self- or battery-powered, which again worked very well with a Sony Walkman professional cassette recorder, dependent upon the power of the machine or aplifier to drive it, and the plexTalk Pocket doesn't drive it at all.

Sorry, I forgot to change the subject on my last reply. Frank
Lets talk about microphones.
No one has responded to this question because it's a huge subject. I advise you join the PC audio list and listen to them discuss what is currently most popular.
I have had several of the little Sony electret microphones over the years that just connect directly to the recorder without a cord. I have also used corded microphones in the ECM family. They all seem to develop the static noise problem eventually. I have never resolved this problem or met anyone who has. But I do not think it is resolved by cleaning. If someone knows how to correct this noise problem please let us all know.
The principle advantage of these little microphones is convenience. All professional microphones are corded and use a standard XLR microphone connector. Guitar center or a local music shop can sell you an adaptor cable to convert from the stereo mini jack on the plextalk to a pair of XLR connectors. This cord will probably cost about $24.
Once you go to an external professional corded microphone you then need to be concerned about how you are going to support it. Microphone stands come in all shapes and sizes but in general they are heavy and not very portable. They not only support the microphone so that you can have your hands free to play an instrument but they also eliminate handling noise.
There are many good books and internet articles on microphone selection and the variety of shapes, sizes and functional types will make your head spin. Basically I like to talk to performers who play the kinds of instruments that I like to record and ask for suggestions. I do professional sound and have purchased a large number of them over the yearsbut I have no favorites except for the condensers that cost over $800 and they cannot be used on the Plextalk without a mixer to supply them with external power. Two exceptions are the Audio Tecnica AT31 and the AKG1000. These are both in the $200 range and offer the alternative of running from an internal AA battery.
There are many many very good dynamic microphones in the $100 to $200 range and the advantage of this technology is that they do not require any external power. I use mostly Shure beta 57 and 58 models for live sound recording of folk music. If you are recording piano or orchestra or are concerned about capturing the natural sound of an instrument stick with the condensers.
Frank
I am looking for the same thing. I was told to go to Guitar Center. Pam.

I would not be in favour of such a rule amendment. It could be used to ban or stymie discussion of any sales or purchases of PlexTalk products between individual users. The product being advertised in this thread is a 'listener / audio enhancement' to the PlexTalk.
This list is generally low traffic enough. I asked a question last Sunday, and indeed asked it several months ago, in its own thread, but to date have not received any answers. I (find it hard to believe that nobody has used an external microphone with their PlexTalk while recording with it.) (I'm looking for a good microphone to use with the plexTalk Pocket. I have one that works, an ECM209 � as used with Minidisc recorderseab think I could possibly have better.) ----- Original Message -----

I would be in favor of a list rule that allows reviews of products and services by list members but does not allow direct sales by vendors (even nice ones).

Glad to hear that you're not having issues with bees or ants for that matter, Jamie. However unless you suffer from OCD, I don't see anyone twisting your arm to read my message and not use the delete key when you run upon it and were the only one to post an off topic reply to my message to the group.
The devices that I informed the subscribers about work with the PlexTalk players and allow one to use them wirelessly. Why shouldn't I inform them? Did you ever think that perhaps they're not as well informed as you on the subject of Bluetooth devices and their possible use with their PlexTalk players?
So unless you're the owner or moderator of this group, I think the group can make use with a little less of you trying to be the list cop and leave that up to the actual owner or moderator. As I stated in my previous message, I will abide by what the owner or moderator determines. Can you?
Thank you very much.

Hello Laz,
It is nothing to do with bees in my bonnet or even ants in my pants, this is simply a request that you keep post on topic for this list.
This list is supposed to be about Plextalk players and, whilst I fully acknowledge that your products may well be of interest to some list subscribers, it is not normal practice for commercial companies to use a list of this sort to advertise products. My dear fellow, it is simply a matter of good manners, that's all.
Now off to do some fervent debugging of my bonnet and pants!!
Have a thoroughly delicious weekend!!
Jamie

I don't know what bee got into your bonnet, Jamie but perhaps there are some folks on this list who would like to get into using their players wirelessly with Bluetooth speakers or headsets. If you don't care for the post, please exercise your right to delete the message.
As for me, I'll go along with whatever the list owner or moderator says.
Thanks!

Hi Laz,
I appreciate that you are trying to get to your target market but this really has nothing to do with Plextalk players. "I think you've had a good run at the cheap advertising but come on, there has to be a point at which you draw the line!
Mr Moderator, please step in on this!

Ok, sometimes when i plug my plextalk pocket into charge and want to use it when I turn it on i get this please wait message and it keeps i believe rebooting, Why is this happening, and how can i fix this eventually it clears up but I wonder what makes it do it? i am running the latest firmware. I don't think you could reinstall the firmware on top of itself can you? if so i have not gotten that to work.
Yes you can reinstall the software by installing another language and then back to english. I have never heard of a pocket rebooting when disconnecting from the power. Normally after disconnecting the power after charging when the unit is in power save mode does bring back the unit on in seconds, not rebooting.

What is weird is that this only happens when i have my plextalk pocket connected to the outlet to charge. So, not sure why this is. I live in the USA did not think you could install a different version of the firmware to reinstall the english version.
Hi, when you say it keeps rebooting does it say 'please wait' repeatedly or is it just an inordinate period of silence before the jingle? The reason I ask is that my ptp died after about 2 years and I had to buy another one. I used to love the first one but I hate this newer one because it takes ages to boot up. I have the network option turned off but it takes a long time in silence between the please wait and the jingle so maybe it is the later firmware that makes it seem as if it is rebooting. regards cliff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Life My Way" <lifemyway@yahoo.com> To: "Plextalk User Discussion List" <plextalk@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Saturday, May 16, 2015 7:10 AM Subject: [Plextalk] plextalk pocket and please wait.

Ok, i have had my plextalk pocket for quite a few years. The firmware is version 6.0.1 also When it says please wait, it will say this then give a bell sound, then go scilent, then does the same again and again until it brings up the sound that it has booted.
Hi Some time ago my Plextalk Pocket kept rebooting. I solved it by backing up my files to the Pc, reformatting the SD card and copying everything back. It has worked ever since. Pele West
You can install the Canadian English version and revert back to US English as a reinstall of the same version: Canadian English = http://www.plextalk.com/dl/ptp1/PTP1UP60101CAE.zip US English = http://www.plextalk.com/dl/ptp1/PTP1UP60101USE.zip Regards, Marc Van der Aa -----Original Message----- From: Plextalk [mailto:plextalk-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Life My Way Sent: zaterdag 16 mei 2015 19:11 To: Plextalk User Discussion List Subject: Re: [Plextalk] plextalk pocket and please wait.
