Topic: ISO: DIY DMIC-20 power instructions

[Tom_M]

Hey all. Im getting ready to purchase a couple pieces of gear that need to be powered. Can anyone provide me with some DIY instuctions for putting together battery packs for a DMIC and a CO2? I am completely clueless as to what i need to do, so it might have to be dumbed down a bit;)

Thanks for the help!

first, ditch the co2;-)

i have no idea/experience w/ the c02, but w/ a lot of signals, the c02 drops sample and has pops/clicks in the recording

just saving you some troubles bro

The only way you'll get the CO2 to work without pops is to solder a battery clip to the actual traces on the PC board.  I did that to mine and it has performed flawlessly since.  I use a 9.6v RC pack and I can get almost a whole festival day out of it (1600 mAH)

I have my signal convertor (decided to try out the "Grey Box"), now i just need to get the DMIC running!
