  1. I know, the price made me suspicious at first, but then I read the seller's feedback profile and he got 99,6% positive reviews on more than 2000 people so I though that it was worth a try. I'll see what will happen within the next week... I'm still thinking about a way to power these mics with one battery module or phantom power module... Something reliable and portable. Any suggestions, let me know
  2. Hi there! I built my battery box and mics about a year ago but I didn't have the chance to thank you Greenmachine, so thank you!! My battery box has been made without spending any money lol I have taken pieces from old radios and CD players I was about to throw away. The component are installed into an old lozenges casing that was lying in my garage for years. Well, I'm pretty amazed by the results. As a matter of facts, I used it since I have built it and it has stuck with me through at least 30-40 shows. I don't have my digital camera with me right now, so I "scanned" the battery box. It is blurry, but it gives you a good idea of my design. For the mics, I used the radioshack caps that I have mounted into a cheap set of earbuds. I bought new mics recently, to try them out, and I'm facing a little problem beacause the mics are independant (apart from each other : they both have their own 3.5mm connector) Since I want to use them in stereo recordings, how can I build a "two input, single stereo output" battery module? Do I have to use two 9V batteries? The mics have stereo mini-jacks output connectors so which type of female mini-jack inputs will I need? If someone could help me out, I would really appreciate it, thanks!
  3. Hi there, thanks for your answer : I'm reading the webpages you provided right now For your information, the mics are supposed to be new, but they come without the power module. I didn't receive the package yet, because I ordered it about 2-3 days ago. I was looking for a way to use them when they'll arrive! The seller still offer the product, you can see his auction here I was wondering if that kind of power module could be bought somewhere. I know audio-technica sells something of that kind, but it is only for one mic and in mini-xlr. I am looking for something portable that could handle both mic at the same time. If you have any idea or precision, juste let me know
  4. Hi there! This is my fisrt post here, but I read the forums for about a year. I own a MZ-NH700 and I like it very much. He is my recorder since last year and have recorded at least 30 shows so far. The mics I use are of my own design. I built them following guides on the internet (and also the greenmachine tutorial). I used radio shack capsules mounted into a cheap set of earbuds. They look a lot like the Microphone Madness MM-BSM-8 : I use also an homemade battery module, built following greenmachine's plan: My set works really good, and sound also very good. Even if I'm happy with my gear, I was curious to try other mics. Recently, I bought on e-bay some AT831R (see this page) mics at a very competitive price. Since those mics are not linked together to one 3.5mm connector, I was wondering if my battery box would fit for those mics. First of all, I'm a little mixed up because the audio-technica website says that the mics are supposed to have Integral 3-pin XLRM-type output connectors, but the mics I bought have 3.5mm connectors. Secondly, the mics are supposed to work only with Phantom Power. I really don't know what to do...Is it possible to send phantom power through mini-jack? I know that "plug-in power" is a kind of phantom power, but it is nowhere near 48V... Then, the problem I will encounter is that the mics are apart from each other. I will need a battery module with 2 inputs and one output, all in mini-jack, and i will need it to offer 48V phantom power... I'm starting to think that maybe I made the wrong choice when I bought these mics... Anyway, I would really appreciate some help here, I'm very confused lol Guyaume
