Dear TS,
I have always recorded using SP-CMC-2 (AT831) > SPSB-1 > Zoom H2 (mic-in w/ power off due to broken line-in)
I am now in the process of updating my equipment (keeping in mind I'm on a budget).
Step 1) I've picked up an iRiver H120 (plan on doing CF-Mod too)
Step 2) I've picked up a bm2p+ UA-5
Purpose of the UA-5:
1) Use as preamp
2) Use as ADC
But NOT use phantom power (which is why I'll keep using the battery box)
What I would like to do is keep using the Mics and Battery box and basically run:
SP-CMC-2 (AT831) > SPSB-1 > bm2p+ UA-5 (optical out) > (optical in) iRiver H120
My questions are (reason I posted in Cables forum):
What is the best way of connecting the battery box to the UA-5?1/8 female > 2x XLR male? Will this do the job? (with phantom power of UA-5 turned off)

Thank you for your help
Emile
