Okay, so I decided to get the MIT's.

Are these what I'm looking for? 

http://cgi.ebay.com/HOSA-MIT-176-Mic-Transformer-XLR-Female-LO-Z-1-4-M_W0QQitemZ7408320514QQcategoryZ23783QQcmdZViewItem

That's them, yes.  Hopefully they'll give you enough gain, though ScottT's account suggests that may not be the case.  Depends on how loud the sound source is that you're recording.

http://www.music123.com/Hosa-MIT176-i13238.music

Is that what I will need?  Those will run from the Phantom into the JB3?

The JB3 has a 1/8" female stereo connector.  So, whatever gear is immediately upstream of the JB3 needs to have either <1> an 1/8" male stereo connector, or you need adapters between the upstream piece of gear that converts its outputs to an 1/8" male stereo connector.

For example, if you run mics > Art II phantom power > JB3 (which probably won't provide enough gain, but for the sake of example let's continue).  The Art II outputs via two male XLR connectors.  So, you'd need an adapter cable between the Art II and JB3 that has two female XLR connectors on one end, and an 1/8" male stereo connector on the other end.  Like this:



Another example, if you run mics > Art II phantom power > Hosa MIT-176 line transformers > JB3 (which may provide enough gain...hopefully).  The mics, Art II, and Hosa MIT-176 will connect just fine, but you'll need an adapter between the MIT-176 and JB3.  Each MIT-176 terminates in a 1/4" male mono connector, so you'll need an adapter between the MIT-176 and JB3, specifically an adapter with two 1/4" female mono connectors on one side, and an 1/8" male stereo connector on the other.  Like this:

Okay, so let me make sure I'm doing this correctly.  Please someone check over my work if I'm incorrect. 

Mic's
2 of these XLR's ( http://www.zzounds.com/item--WHRMC20 )  Will those work?
Phantom ( http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Phantom2/ ) Will that work?
MIT's ( http://cgi.ebay.com/HOSA-MIT-176-Mic-Transformer-XLR-Female-LO-Z-1-4-M_W0QQitemZ7408320514QQcategoryZ23783QQcmdZViewItem )
Adapter ( http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103237&cp=&pg=2&origkw=mini+to+mini&kw=mini+to+mini&parentPage=search )
JB3

Please verify the links, those are the ones that I will be buying from.

Thanks so much.

Yeah, that looks right.  I'd recommend a different (2) 1/4"-female > 1/8"-male stereo adapter, though.  The RS one listed will result in a long, bulky adapter sticking out of the JB3.  Makes it easy to accidently apply pressure to the connection and may damage the JB3's 1/8" input.  Better to have the 2 x 1/4"-female end of the adapter uncoupled from the 1/8"-male stereo connector by a little bit of cable, like the image to which I linked earlier.  Oughta be able to find one for a similar price as the RS one, but not sure where just now.

Like this one, 6th down:

Wrong wrong wrong ^^^^^^

This thread reached 15 pages because of me - as others have pointed out, that's a 2 x 1/4" stereo > 1/8" stereo adapter.  Need a 2 x 1/4" MONO > 1/8" stereo adapter.

Yup, that's the one.  Doesn't have to be that specific part from that specific retailer, but the pigtail style will help reduce stress on the JB3s 1/8" connector.

NO!!  This thread reached 15 pages because of me - as others have pointed out, that's a 2 x 1/4" stereo > 1/8" stereo adapter.  Need a 2 x 1/4" MONO > 1/8" stereo adapter.

once again NO :)
check the post right above yours

the JB3 has a 1/8 stereo plug
the link you posted is a 1/4 mono

He indicated he's going to get the Hosa MIT-176 line transformers.  And the eBay link he provided is for the MIT-176.  So, YES, those are what he's looking for.  But he also needs adapters to convert the 2 x 1/4" male mono connectors to an 1/8" male stereo connector (as already referenced in previous posts).

Why not do it cheap and easy to start?

Get a Edirol R-9
AKG C1000s->Edirol R-9

That's what I am going to do :)
