just how are you plugging your battery box into the mp-2?
still wanna know how this is being done...does the battery box have xlr outs? that would be news to me.
I thought most bat boxes had 1/8" stereo out. where do you plug a 1/8" into the mp2...into the tape return?

thanks...but that appears to be speculation at this point..i wanna KNOW
my batt box does have a male 1/8" mini plug out. plug my mics into the batt box, and the male 1/8" off the batt box into the female 1/8">dual xlr. i made the female 1/8"->dual xlr.
"phantom has nothing to do with bass. the problem you are describing is mics not getting the correct amount of power...which is very likely because you were trying to power mics wired for batt box power with a full 48V. distortion and hiss are the results."
i did have the filter set on 80hz w/ the phantom running (cut the bass more than i wanted). i got a couple good sets, but one set that ran 1 hour 40 minutes sounded like static,distortion, and hiss cause the batteries started dieing. mics run on phantom fine. it just drains the hell out of my machine, and when it drains the machine the recording is gawd awful.
"I'm sorry for being an asshole, but you are now banned from talking about things you know nothing about. Not to be arrogant either, but even I wouldn't make such inferences, especially when 5 people have told you "phantom doesn't work with 1/8" connectors," and "don't use phantom with a battery box."
i have the fucking machine right here in my face JAYGO. yes it does run on phantom w/ my 1/8" female mini to dual xlrs. makes nice recordings until the batteries start to take a dive. so don't try to tell me something when i have the machine and have been through several sets of recordings with it.
>>i pluged my mics directly into the female 1/8" mini> dual xlr and ran phantom.
i would strongly advise you switch off phantom on your mp2, because you're shorting pin 3 in the 1/8" mini.
hence, you're not providing phantom power to the mics.

im shorting pin 3? how is this? pin 1 is grounded, and pins 2 is left and pin 3 is right or vice versa for 2 and 3. i don't notice anything shorting out. 1 of the 3 recordings i got came out like shit, cause the batteries didnt hold out.
supa crispy I MEAN CRISPY TO. SO NICE recordings with the phantom,but man when those batteries get low its all over but the crying. i can send you guys copies of the Morgan Heritage set and the Junior Reid, plus you can get a chance to hear how sweet this stealth system really is.
Im gonna run the batt box from now on to save battery life and get a warmer, fuller sound. trial by error.
