I'm not entirely sure what you are asking about here.  If you are looking for a battery powered phantom power supply something like the Stewart BPS-1 would work fine.  It runs off 2 x 9V.

Ok, sorry I misread your question.  I thought you were trying to power the CK61 capsule used by the 460/480 mics.

The power supply for this unit is the N 61A.  I would look on ebay they always have a bunch of old AKG mics and parts listed.

i think kent borrows the 61s from pat cooper.  another pair of 61s are in sf--art granoffs?  anyway, i believe those guys get ac power from kimock when they run those mics onstage.  i don't think the akg power supply has internal batteries.  i think i read where doug said you'll need 120volts worth of batteries if you want to run those mics in the field.

i know a guy who runs km54s and he said he has to lug around 120 volts worth of batteries to power his neumann power supply.

I just got a ps made by Korby for some Neumann 54's my friend has.  He knows nothing about the ps though.  He had Tracy make it years ago, and then never used it.  I'm getting there slowly, but maybe surely.  Thanks for all the help...keep it coming....Mike
