What i said..since you didnt catch it..is that they were designed to use a 3w setup. I said nothing else. The mod is beneficial if you already have a 2w bb or recorder that has adequate plug in power. But then you are bound to that or similar..plug in power wise..recorder. Think about it.
No, I caught what you said and understand it very clearly.
The creator of this thread asked a very specific question, regarding microphones that will work directly with the mr-1, without any battery box.
There was no reason to mention anything about 3-wire setups in this instance. 3-wire setups will not work without the use of a battery box or compatible preamp. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that a modification such as Mr. Church's will allow proper performance of 3-wire electrets, in a 2-wire format, negating any reason to raise this 3-wire issue.
