This is the first one that I made. It came out OK and sounds great! It's an extra right now so if anyone is looking for one, I have this one available. It has all film caps and resistors, switchcraft mini-xlr connectors, a led power light, a micro on-off switch and a dedicated mini-xlr to 1/8" adaptor. It's also about 2/3rd the size of the SP 2-wire box making it a little smaller for stealthing. I made another one that I'm going to try out this weekend. Fun stuff!!
Wow, that is nice! I would remove the LED though. That will take way too much power (10mA vs about 0.5mA for the mics), and will drain your battery fast. Hmm. Ideally, you could put an LED that just flickers when you turn it on, but that is more work. In fact, don't put a switch at all. Just turn it on by inserting the mics.
OK, now can you please help me out and tell me the source/part # for that box. I'm looking for something nice and small like that. Send by PM if you like...
