I made one of these but my recording was too soft and waaaay too much bass. I used 1.0 uF Tantalum capacitors 35w .25w 5% tolorance 4.7k ohm Resistors. I was going to try again with the following: 2.2 uF Electrolytic Capacitor 50V and either .25w 5% tolorance 10k ohm Resistors. or .50w 5% tolorance 10k ohm Resistors. or Does the wattage value make a difference at all for this on the resistors???

OK I built one of these and tried it out for a test. not a loud show but the bass came in wayy too high and the recording level was verry low (used automatic levels on a mz-70).. should i change the resistors or capacitors in some way?? my build is posted earlier

Finished it up and seems to work...much lower db on first test so I assume that means its working compared to line in mic jack...still need to test with loud music and compare better but thanks for the assistance and reply!

Need help confirming my wiring on this as I haven't done anything electrical for 25 years. Parts used were (2) 1/8" 3.5mm jacks from radio shack, (2) 1.0 uF Tantalum capacitors 35w, (2) .25w 5% tolorance 4.7k ohm Resistors. In the picture, the planned solder points are noted Questions (sorry for the list but i'm new at this). -Any anticipated probs with the parts I've used? It for a MZ-R70 with Sound Professionals BMC-1 mics -I'm not sure I have the right/left channels right on the jack (they arent marked but I determined the right by the lower contact point on the plug when inserted. -I'm not sure is the line on the side of jack is a neg that needs to be wired to anything or a ground..DO I NEED TO WIRE THIS TO ANYTHING? -Any way this can screw up the mics or the MD if wired wrong? If you cant see, the plans have: Positive from battery soldered jointly to 3 pts on the back (2 resistors in and wire from battery) R1 out soldered on the back to 3 pts (R1 out, C1+, and right of jack1) R2 out soldered on the back to 3 pts (R2 out, C2+, and left of jack1) C1(-) soldered to left of jack2 C2(-) soldered to right of jack2 If this is wrong or right, please letme know. I'd like some feedback before I connect. THANKS!
