I want to have the B-2s for diffrent situations (it does card, omni and fig8) as well as a 3 mic mix. what is the best way to do a 3 mic mix with my setup? I need to get to get phantom power to the third mic obviously and convert the connections from XLR to RCA.

that xlr to rca would work, but you said you would still need phantom powering..  i might have a battery box up for sale here pretty soon.  i don't know how soon, but otherwise, check ebay they have them occasionally, or go to http://www.bradleybroadcast.com/2001/micproc.htm     i don't know how old that is, but the link still works... check it out.

If you do figure out a powering solution  the best way to do the 3 mic mix is to run an omni in between 2 cards or hypers.  I've heard a couple dead tapes that sound really good using this method.

I was thinking of figure 8 in between the hypers
