Topic: SP-SPSB-10 bbox experiences?

Thanks for answers.

I've got one and I like it... I don't use it as often as you do, probably. It being plastic, it is more prone to damage, but I'm usually pretty careful. I keep it in my back pocket when recording and keep it in a plastic bag when not in use.  Sorry to hear yours is not working. I agree that the 12V really improves the sound, plus I like the smaller size.

I suspect if you asked it's not inconceivable that one of the wizards on here could do you up a 12V box.  Most people don't like it because it uses that weird battery, but I don't mind that either.

Hi

Well that´s the point I also did not use it very often and surely handle it also with care but anyway the input jack does not seem to be very solid 
Maybe the model with bass roll off SP offers is more solid with the metal input jack...?

Any other opinions on whether 12 volts makes most mini-mics sound better than 9 volts? I have a hard time believing it based on what I've read here, how good all my mics sound powered by 9 volts, and my belief that if this were true Chris Church would not use 9 volts to power his preamps and battery boxes. Chris really knows the mics we typically use here as well as his own.

IT is true that Churches mics are powered by 9 volts but he mods his mics with a 4.7resistor to handle the loud stuff...

I only can say that my CMC-8 sounds better more direct and clearer (difficult to express in English for me as Austrian...   with the 12 Volt bbox but anyway my ugly bbox is very good and beside the smallest setup... I think the 9 VOlt batteries have a longer life than the 12 Volt...

No problems with my SP-SPSB-11, which is the rolloff model.
