The 4061s aren't a phantom powered mic.  They run off the 9 volt plug in power that the DPA or other battery boxes provide. 

Can't they be converted to accept phantom?  I was led to believe that from the spec sheet.

I've been checking EBay as well, I a bit weary of buying them used, I'll have to see what kind of prices I can get on new ones.  Thanks for all the input.

they do have XLR adapters that allow them to accept phantom power, yes. I have them.

From what I've heard they aren't actually phantom powered though, it just allows them to be connected to a phantom power source if that's all that's available.  In your experience does running them phantom have any effect on the way the mics perform?  I think I discussed all of this with J Kelly and was sure that phantom doesn't help these mics.

Looks like I'll be ordering the 4061s tomorrow, found demos for $600 with full warranty.  The last EBay for a pair was $500 with no warranty, so I think this is a good deal.

make sure you get the 4061's with the microdot connectors or you could get the ones from coresound that terminate into a 3.55 miniplug. dont get the lemo connectors

i agree with the head mount option for the 4061's..the higher the mounting the better the sound imo.

Yea, they have microdots, got them from Oade.  I guess they were used by Widespread Panic for one acoustic show at the HOB and then returned.  I forgot to ask if they come with clips, or to order clips, guess I'll do that tomorrow.  Great experience with Oade, by the way.  Couldn't recommend them enough.  Far different buying experience than when I bought my CSBs 3 years ago.

I wish I had found this board before I ordered them.  I had AT853s, but as I mentioned elsewhere on here, got horrible distortion at loud shows so I sent them back.  Got the CSBs, despite Len being a total dick on the phone.  Certainly a good product, I'd just rather not deal with a guy who is rude to his customers.  Not to mention all the competition bashing he does on the Internet.

I LOVE 4061s.   LOVE THEM!   As far as clips go, I just went to my local Staples/Office Max and purchased a box of the smallest binder clips... 20 of em for $.79 or something like that.   I wear a baseball cap, and just put the wire through the clip, clip it to the baseball cap, pull the mic until it buts agains the clip, and all good.

At this point, I have no desire to change my rig at all, until a 24-bit compact solution becomes available.  That's how much my gearslut ass likes the 4061s -> ModSBM1.

Good tip, thanks!

His tapes are stellar with the 4061>sbm-1 combo....now he has me hunting down an oade sbm-1 for myself

[madman]

The 4061s came today...those are tiny!  I have a question though, they came with 2 little endcaps, one has a screen at the end and on the sides, the other only has a screen at the end and solid metal along the sides.  What's the deal with that?

[madman]

Awesome, thanks!  They are so tiny I'm nervous to yank the cap off.
