Topic: Ok...so how the heck so i use all this gear?

Thanks so much guys, i jumped on bhphoto and ordered some cables to make this rig work, i'll give it a whirl this Spring and Summer and see if its worth it.  Too bad the AD-20 does not provide phantom power to avoid one less piece of gear in the chain.  Worse comes to worse, i'll ditch the mv-100 and get a ps-2, thanks again!

sound pro also offers a 2 channel 48V phantom box from samson for $60

i believe the ps-2 actually has a pigtail connector with the xlr outs on it...and it is the perfect combo with the ad-20 as they are built very similarly and by the same manufacturer.
so you would just need your normal mic cables > ps-2 > ad-20 > jb3.
if the mv100 has phantom, which it apparently does, then run it at the lowest gain possible into your ad-20 and use the gain on the ad-20 i guess.

Sounds like a plan, i'll keep the option open for the PS-2 down the line tho, of course, id' like to have all my gear to be as stealthable as possible, thanks again for clarification guys.
