Not hardwired, I'm going to use Neutrik nanocons on the capsule end.  The pinout will be:

1 ground
2 +15V/signal
3 +45V

PFA, tinybox, and littlebox can all support that.

Thanks Jon!

Naiant is reasonable in the price department. I'm optimistic and have an amount in mind for the Active Collete's and PFA. I'm considering the ramifications a AKG Active will make on my rig. Keeping in mind I would like to get smaller....

A: Change over to a Tiny Box which may not be the greatest match for the iRiver, So...New small recorder M10 or DR-2 adds an upgrade to the cost of Actives and Tiny Box another upgrade cost over the existing low pro pre.
B: Go PFA route, stay with V2/Fostex and PS2/AD-20/iRiver. The 16 bit stuff is long in the tooth but running fine.

As much as I would like a Tiny Box...I think I'm going PFA. Wait/save for a upgraded Small Recorder and Tiny Box and have the best of both.

I need the contact's ID'ed inside a CK series capsule (Blueline).
Anyone who has done the hardwire version would know this.
I've been working on a capsule only mod that makes the CK91, 93 caps disconnect (and look like) the CK-1X caps...
Please help me ID the (+) contact.
thanks.
This is what I have so far >



The mod is in proto-version 1.5 now, and it looks amazing.
There were a lot of problems that needed to be solved along the way for this to work.
I think I'm almost done, I just need to solder it up and make small adjustments
I only have a dummied up prototype, but it looks great.
Now I need the wiring info, so I can test function.

ok, here's a peek...

that picture is funny... I feel like that sometimes...

I added some shrink tubing, and it looks more uniform.
