Hi here this is official DPA 9 Volt schematic
anybody know where to get female microdot panel connectors (or somethign small i could pot)like this, but in the UShttp://www.coax-connectors.com/products/connectors/10-32/54-385-b3-10-32-(microdot)-front-mount-bulkhead-jack-solder-post.aspx
If you're hearing distortion, it's not from the DPAs.Even 10k Ohm is marginal in protecting the capsule. With a fresh, so-called "9 Volt" battery (which can really measure as much as 9.6 Volts), you risk damaging the capsule. With 4.7k you'll almost certainly eventually damage or destroy it.
so it took me a while to sucessfully test it out. but here's some a pic of what it looks like and how it compares to a soundpro SP-SPSB-1.edit:I used a piece of veraboard and used a female mini-jack from an old soundcard. the resistors and cap are all pretty common. all held in togethor with hot glue. in hindsight, i should have used an old headphone male mini-jack instead of regular wire and that new gold jack. the fact that the gold jack isn't a right angle plug also kinda sucks. also a some sort of housing for the battery probably wouldn't be a bad idea either. one time between sets, i couldn't figure out why i wasn't getting levels, turned out the battery had become disconnected from the bb. questions, comments, suggestions? all welcomed.
I think the sp 11 used to be quite similar in size...had the roll off switches, but was tiny and had a nice “ sled” that the 9v fit into. They’re not making it any longer...
Here's the battery box I use. Works flawlessly with my DPA 4061's. This BB is super tiny.https://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/SP-SPSB-10

Ultra tiny setup.https://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/SP-SPSB-11
