Thanks I rewired the circuit and now it seems to be working. I wired the power to the wrong side of the resistor. After redoing it everything seems to work fine. Thanks for the quick response. And all the help.. I am not real good a reading a wiring diagram. Again thanks to all.

I would attach pictures. But, I disassembled the circuit board. I do have another question. If the microphone is powered by the battery box. Shouldn't I be able to connect it to a head set and hear the speaker working or not? I would thank that you would be able to hear sound through the head set.

I have attempted to build a power box for my new microphones. I have used the drawnings from this forum. I have gone over it atleast 5 times. I also had my wife look at it and for some reason it is not working. I need some troubleshooting tips to find out what is wrong.. Can someone please help.

Thanks I now know what is going on. I really thank I was expecting more than what was available from what I was intending to do.. I read the forum almost everyday. It really has great information.

I just got some panansonic mics and connected one of them to a cable. I then connected it to my Ifp 890 iriver and tried to record. It is set to ext mic and record level of 55. I guess I expected more from these little mics. After hearing so many say that they use them to record live shows. I wonder how. My mic does not seem to have that much input. Am I expecting too much.. I use my TV to test with. It is only about 8 feet from me. Again I expected more. How much of a benefit will I get if I was to add the 9volt battery pack?. I must say that the quality is very good. Just the volume seens very low. I get much more from the internal mic on the ifp 890. I was hoping to use two of these in a school news show. I wanted to put them in a piece of wood that has their logo on it. It would set about 3ft from them. Tim Burns

Can anyone tell me where to get good cable to make the microphones from. I have not seen anything in the posts. Or I missed it. I know some cut up headsets but I would like to have good shielded cable if possible.
