I do run cards on my shirt collar already, and it doesnt spoil my enjoyment of thr gig...!
Hmm...looking at the Sound Professionals site:
SPCMC4s $189
Phantom power adaptor kit (allows both phantom and battery box): $100
Denecke PS2 phantom power with mini-plug output: $239
Would this:
a) work (all the above would plug into a JB3)?
b) be a good idea, or should I go elsewhere?
Define the word "work"
Two things to bear in mind.
The AT mics with the SP batterybox runs out of steam at some 122 dB SPL (the capsule gives up). I am not sure at what SPL the sound become objectionable.
The levels are healthy: Sensitivity is -21 dB re 1V/1Pa (94 dB SPL).
When you connect the mic in the "phantom mode" the level drops 20 dB (19 to be exact to -40 dB
re 1V /Pa). But now the mics stay linear up to 135 dB SPL or so. But in this mode the powering
scheme necessary becomes a little involved and rather bulky.
Just someting to keep in mind when searching for that optimum solution ..
