Thanks Schwill, but I think the stock AT853s have mini xlrs or?  So I would like to leave those alone (then I could just plug em back into the transformers.  The only example that I have seen was using a 5pin xlr instead of the stock ones...

Make sense?

the AT853a mics have mini-xlr (i think) that can be used for battery or phantom.  The AT853Rx have regular XLR power modules "in-line"

And if it helps, in that picture, just imagine mini-xlrs instead of 1/8" minis.  Either way it gets the job done

Gotcha!  Well I have 6 at853's with transformers coming (4 black, 2 white, dunno what I am gonna do with white 853's with 25' cords but hey the price was right!)  for $160 shipped!  so hopefully between the 2 sets of black ones I can come up with a pair of mics that are close.  


Woohoo taping on the cheap!!

Yeah got em all for $160, they are former choir mics.  From what it looks like they have the connector on em (actually he said they cut off and need to be reconnected on the black ones) so I am hoping that all of em come with the at xformers... Emailed the guy and they all have card elements too...

holy shit, I should have just gotten my recently purchased pair from you :-p

good luck with that.  If any of the transformers are AT8533 (not AT8533x) I'd be interested in buying them, if you are selling.

One is strictly phantom powered, and the other has the ability to go 1.5v button cell?  I think...

Will let ya know.  I might have a line on a few more that went before this batch.  Guy got a few of em and only wants 2, and said he might be willing to sell me the rest.

Heck, with all of those, I could pick up a mixer and mic the band myself!   ;D

one (3x) is soldered onto the mic cable and the other (3) has a mini-xlr connection, i think

AT853rx comes with

AT8533x

Power  9-52 Volts Phantom Power  
Switches  2-position: Low-Frequency Roll-Off / Flat  
Input Connection  Screw Terminals  
Output Connection  3-pin XLR-male  
Dimensions  3.58 x 0.83" (91 x 21mm) (Length x Diameter)  
Weight  2.1 oz (60 grams)  


AT8533a comes with

AT8531 power module

Same as above, but allows battery operation lowers dynamic range.

AT8533pmx

Comes with WALL PLATE MOUNTABLE transformer (I think that I am getting a couple of these with the white ones)  The mic has bare cable and goes into the xformer with screw terminals.  

Even if I just end up with 6 853 and no inline xformers, it still is a smoking deal.  As of right now my rig consists of a set of Panasonic mic elements linkiwitz mod'd with a Sound Pro Pre/battery box.  So I will more than likely be running 9v for a while anyway.  

Seeing as all these would need to be SP mod'd would be the addition of a stereo miniplug, I still think this is a pretty good deal.

Hoyt and leegeddy have done this mod themselves, maybe they can post pics or add a link.  Either way, it's not that difficult and it would be something I would try if I ever considered going back to battery power (which I wouldn't)

Yup: http://www.taperssection.com/yabbse/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=15247;start=msg196993#msg196993

All in all it doesn't take long to do it yourself.  The real pain is soldering with the tiny mini-xlrs terminals.

All you have to do is remove the 'yabbse' from the link.
