Howdy,
My current rig is AKG CK31 caps > akg lm3l cables > akg mpaIII L phantom adapters.
I run this into a PMD660 running phantom power. I've been taping less and less lately, so I was thinking of getting a smaller/cheaper recorder to use with these mics for the few times I do get out.....
My question is - and pardon my ignorance as I haven't used a set of mics with a battery box since owning a pair of 4061s from Core Sound -, are there any battery boxes out there now that work with these sorts of connectors?
The idea would be to ditch the AKG phantom adapters and power the mics with a small battery box.... judging from the specs of the adapters, the mics require 9v. Here's the description of the phantom adapter:
Adapter cable with MINI XLR MALE (3.5 mm or 1/8") lockable jack socket and male 3-pin XLR connector. The MPA III L reduces the usual phantom powering voltage (9 to 52-V) supplied by mixing consoles to the operating voltage (9-V max.) of AKG L Series Micro Mics MicroMics.
