Thanks a lot Pilot. Subsequent to my writing, I'd seen in a website that a 250ohm directional mic would be appropriate. I have'nt tried it yet. As regards the battery cover, - what you say makes good thinking. I hope its true and that am not cheated by an imitation Yamaha.

Regards,
Sam

Dunno about the PSR2k but my 740 has an unbalanced mono mic input at 50k and since the 2000 was a follow on from the 740 they're probably the same. The gain is very low so you probably need a mic transformer at the very least with a dynamic mic in spite of what it says in the manual. The 740 case is molded to take batteries but the hole is covered with a metal plate. I think the intention was to use them but they decided that it took too much power so it got canned. Same with the 2000.
