Audio Technica AT897 with small consumer grade low end DVR

Ok Thank you,

If I apply attenuator b/w mic and recoder? I also try low sensitivity setting on recorder, but it reduced the overall signal volume including hiss.

Nope, an attentuator will probably make the hiss worse, not better.

Ok you are telling me that I can control hiss only through software?

And Preamp?

Preamp won't help since they put out a line level signal and your recorder can only accept a much lower mic level signal. A preamp will overload the recording. What might work is a Juicedlink preamp - it does put out a stereo mic level. You could set the recorder for minimum gain and adjust the level on the Juicedlink for best sound. But now you're adding several hundred dollars, money that would be much better spent getting a better recorder to begin with.

It is clip which isn’t in English recorded on my set up:

Then I clean it through iZotope RX Adance and made its Video through image in “.rm” format by Sony Vegas Pro 10:

Now my last question is that can split microphone output wire into “Y” formation, one to supply input to PA system other to my mini Sony DVR. Is it possible without getting any serious problem or will there be any compromise in quality or gain etc.?
