I have bought both of the NAK Mics and NAK Mixer. It looks like I need a power source for the mixer. Any suggestions?
Do a search, there has been discussion and success with modding the mixer to use two 9v batteries.
If you don't find anything, email me at the address in my profile. I'm pretty sure I took some pictures showing what wires go where.
I found my old post with pictures and some verbal instructions.

I think you can put two 9V batteries inside the enclosure of the MX-100. They use to last for at least 10 hours. You can also use some rechargeable ones and use the existing DIN-connector for an external charger.
There are a lot of things you can change in the setup of 3x Nakamichi microphones and the MX-100. You can supply the microphones from the mixer if you like. You will need to bypass the output transformers inside the microphones, replace the 2-way jacks on the MX-100 with 3-way ones. The third wire supplies the microphones. You can also replace the heavy enclosure of the MX-100 with a lighter and smaller one (but that still can take a pair of batteries inside). As the MX-100 have no balanced inputs, use short cables to the microphones. If you have a recorder/soundcard with balanced inputs, you can modify the MX-100 to balanced outputs.
