Topic: Nak 300 batteries & voltage question

The 9100 will power them if you wire them correctly.  I would assume run time on the battery would be shorter than say the ATs that draw less power.  I haven't ran a full show with the 9100/Nak 300s but do know for a fact they can be powered with the 9100.

The mic preamp will draw far more current than the microphones. The CM-300 have a current draw of about 1mA. Powering the microphones via the 9100 should not shorten the run time very much.

That's good news!  Thanks.

i dont mind (and actually like) running the full bodied naks, but hate paying 9 bucks for a battery.

I feltt he same way at one point. However, I'm almost on a year and a half with one pair of batteries. Not too shabby.

So it turns out my problem was with the switch, contact cleaner has fixed this for now.  Cool to know about the lithium battery, though. Thanks, Roger!

Thanks to rsimms, I have the parts on hand to make a back end for the  attenuator and capsule, ala franken-mod, just no mod.  That faucet adapter was what I was searching for.....  I'll shoot photos as I make this up.

Next issue on the horizon, my pre (9100) puts out around 5.5 volts.... We'll see how it goes, a minimum of money invested on the parts.....

Thanks, all and +t!

Cool, glad I could help.  I look forward to the pictures.  I recently bought 3 full body/cap/attenuators and have been racking my brain about how to be able to do Sank mod or something similar and the Franken style mod so that you could go either way.  I don't want to hack the bodies off and gut them just to use in my shockmounts.  The problem is that the attenuator screws onto the body which would twist any wire connectors bad ala a short mini-XLR cable.

Yeah, I saw that thread a little too late!  I think we should be able to get a cable set that screws on and off the atten. at will with no mod.  I'm pretty sure my 9100v.3 only does 5.5 volts though.  What kind if performance would that give?  I can't check it now as it is on the way to Mountain Fest.
