some advice for mics and headphones

[BlanKinK*6]

yo. i'd lioke to thank all of the ppl who posted on my last thread and help me make it easier for my parents to get me stuff. i jus openned my presents 3 hours ago. i got an autographed Bob Gibson Baseball, and (most importantly) a 424 Tascam digital tape recorder dealy. .

The most important question i have to ask is, does anybody have a copy of the owner's manual i could download? The main reason i need to know this is for compatible microphones and headphones (most importantly, at the moment, headphones). But also i rly need it to figure out how to use it

Okay, so any help with any of those subjects would be great, thanx alot

Im assuming its the 424MKIII multitrack cassette recorder.
If so, first of all its not digital.
You can plug in just about any mic to this unit, but Im not sure if it supplies onboard phantom power.
You can get the manual here:

Yo Kink:

With that type of unit, you can use about any type of can. If you want to ask your folks to spluge, ask for a pair of Beyer 250's.

Also, you might want to get some Mogami cables. How many? Depends what you're up to.

Have fun with your new unit.

Also, you might ask your folks for a modest reverb unit. Plenty of them out there and the quality is good with units like Yamaha, Lexicon, or the Alesis MidiVerb 3.
