reactivation of thread ...
i still have not gotten around to this modification, although i've asked in the past. i use multiple sets of the at853's. one set was purchased from sound pros - terminated in miniplug.
it crossed my mind (what's left ) that if i want to run in low volume setting the 3volt plugin power of the Sony M10 is OK. But, if i want to use the same mics for loud setting , battery box attached, or preamp'ed with PFA's why don't i just terminate them with mini xlr as are on my other sets.
The question here is, can the 4.7k mod be built into an adapter plug - 2 mini xlr > stereo mini - to be used, when needed, on the 853's when they are to be powered only by the 3 volt plug in power of the m10 (or 9 volt battery) instead of permanently modifying the mic set??
