at853 rx's +ps2
« on: March 24, 2005, 01:04:38 AM »
Does anybody know if a ps2 would give enough gain to power a pair of 853rx's?  I'm looking at using the rx's to stealth with and I if I don't have to carry a pre-amp, I figured this would be a good way to provide power for the mics.  I would run this straight into my d100. 

Edited, because I answered my 2nd question by adding deneke in front of ps2 and searching only the yard sale.  :)


Also, I hope I posted this in the right forum, I didn't know if it was a mic only question or pre's so I put it in this one.   Thanks for any help.

Jeff

Jeff,

This is the setup that will work fine for you:

AT853RX > Denecke PS2 > Denecke AD20 preamp > ?

I used this setup w/ a JB3 for a bunch of shows.  You'll love your recording. 

You can get caps for the At853RX cheap, here, for around $28/capsule, last we all checked:

You'll need the AD20 to boost your gain.  The PS2 only powers the mics, but doesn't provide gain.

What's the right order here?

AT853 > PS2 > AD20 > JB3

or

AT853 > AD20 > PS2 > JB3

From what I've read, you can do it w/o the AD-20 if you get transformers.  I don't know anything about transformers though, so that's about as much help as I am.  I do know its possible.  I believe Keepongoin' has done this before.... maybe he can help?

transformers jeff....yes, the the PS-2 box will be perfect for giving phantom power, then you can go to a set of AT or Hosa transformers which will give you the bump you need to get to line level for the deck.

alright, so I can go 853's > ps2 > transformers > d100.  I've seen transformers before (I'm trying to figure out how much stuff I will be carrying into a show in my pants :) ).  I'm going to research it a little more, because for only a $100 more I might be able to find a used mp2 down the road.  Thanks for the help.
