Well, I was just looking for a way to use an external mic (or stereo 
mic) without a mixer or preamp with this little recorder.  Remember, 
it's cheap and it has amazingly long battery life.  Randy described a 
great way to run a line from the mixer, but in a situation where 
there is no mixer (we play some VERY small venues), it would be nice 
to have off-unit mic(s), but not at the expense of dragging around a 
mixing board and then having to power it.  A lot of folks use 
minidisc, which is okay, but this would be simpler.
