With my Nevaton MCE400 set in the shop
, this might be a good time to supplement my omni setup with a more directional pair and I'm considering the AT853s. I'm pretty sure they'll work with my Tinybox setup (16v phantom, 6-pin mini XLR input) as long as I get them terminated with mini-XLRs and the correct breakout cable.
Since I have an extra recorder I'd like to have the option to run 2 rigs simultaneously-
Rig 1: MCE400>Tinybox>R09
Rig 2: AT853>?>M10
For indoor, boomy situations I'd probably leave the omnis at home and run AT853>Tinybox>M10.
My question for those who have experience with the AT853s is- what do I have to add to rig #2 for it to work properly? If I add a battery box and cable with 4.7k mod, will the M10 provide enough gain for amplified shows? What would happen if I ran plug-in power with just the cable and the mod? If I only get one pattern what would be the best choice (considering I already have an omni set)? Hope this isn't too many questions but I have an AKUS show coming up in a month and am currently without mics!
