will it matter if the resistor is carbon film instead of metal film?

Yes all i see at Target is the regular MDs i havent seen a 1GBMD anywhere!

Ok, I just bought one of these Rat Shack attenuator controls - which will be my temporary solution for my mics until i get a BattBox. My question is that, Can i run this Rat Shack Attenuator cable between the Soundboard and my Hi-MD?

Also ive been wanting to build a Battery Box from the greenmachine DIY [thanks to greenmachine its really great!] but i cant find exactly what parts i need at DigiKey. could someone help me with part numbers for what i need so i can order them? thanks! ~dave

Hi all! I run a very simple rig SP-CMC-19 Cardiod mics -> MZ-RH910[Hi-MD} (my very first taping rig) I find that i have distortion sometimes running mic-in to the MD [i have no battery box, but am attempting to build one from the Greenmachine DIY] i was wondering if going Line In with a Batt Box would cut out the distortion ( i record LOUD rock shows) and also - i would like to patch from the SoundBoard at some of these shows.... but im sure the signal would be too Hot. I saw this DIY to make a attenuator box http://ca.geocities.com/dkleined@rogers.co...tenuatorBox.htm but i am electronic illiterate and tried searching for these parts on DigiKey to make it 10k log pot knobs 1.5k resistor -- 1% metal film, ¼ watt and i have no idea which ones to choose - there are tons of varietys of each type of thing and i dont know if i am getting the right one i saw that some people are using headphone volume control things as attenuators... how is the quality on these things?....would it work/sound better than the DIY box?....would it for for my purpose [patching the SoundBoard]? or if there is any cheap alternative to making the DIY Atten. box then suggestions are welcome Thanks! ~dave

well im looking at DigiKey and im searching for two 2.2uF capacitors, two 10kOhm resistors, preferrably 1% metal film and i did a search for "2.2uF capacitors" and it gave me tons of options for this! what kind do i need? will any 2.2uF capacitor work? Also i tried looking for the 10kOhm resistors - but there are many many variables as well...i dont which one to choose! if someone could copy down the part numbers for the specific piece used... that would be awesome! thanks for the great DIY hopefully i can finally get one finished

yeah ive taken apart some busted cd players and tape players but all those little pieces look alike - could u post some close up pics of the resistors and stuff?

no its just that i live in a small ass town (in the usa) with like no stores with this stuff

What stores have these kinds of parts??
